With the goal of allowing tmem backends (zcache, ramster, Xen tmem) to be
built/loaded as modules rather than built-in and enabled by a boot parameter,
this patch provides "lazy initialization", allowing backends to register to
frontswap even after swapon was run. Before a backend registers all calls
to init are recorded and the creation of tmem_pools delayed until a backend
registers or until a frontswap put is attempted.
