mm: zbud: remove zbud

The zbud compressed pages allocator is rarely used, most users use
zsmalloc. zbud consumes much more memory (only stores 1 or 2 compressed
pages per physical page). The only advantage of zbud is a marginal
performance improvement that by no means justify the memory overhead.

Historically, zsmalloc had significantly worse latency than zbud and
z3fold but offered better memory savings. This is no longer the case as
shown by a simple recent analysis [1]. In a kernel build test on tmpfs in
a limited cgroup, zbud 2-3% less time than zsmalloc, but at the cost of
using ~32% more memory (1.5G vs 1.13G). The tradeoff does not make sense
for zbud in any practical scenario.

The only alleged advantage of zbud is not having the dependency on
CONFIG_MMU, but CONFIG_SWAP already depends on CONFIG_MMU anyway, and zbud
is only used by zswap.

Remove zbud after z3fold's removal, leaving zsmalloc as the one and only
zpool allocator. Leave the removal of the zpool API (and its associated
config options) to a followup cleanup after no more allocators show up.

Deprecating zbud for a few cycles before removing it was initially
proposed [2], like z3fold was marked as deprecated for 2 cycles [3].
However, Johannes rightfully pointed out that the 2 cycles is too short
for most downstream consumers, and z3fold was deprecated first only as a
courtesy anyway.

powerpc/cell: Remove support for IBM Cell Blades

IBM Cell Blades used the Cell processor and the "blade" server form
factor. They were sold as models QS20, QS21 & QS22 from roughly 2006 to
2012 [1].

powerpc/cell: Remove support for IBM Cell Blades

IBM Cell Blades used the Cell processor and the "blade" server form
factor. They were sold as models QS20, QS21 & QS22 from roughly 2006 to
2012 [1]. They were used in a few supercomputers (eg. Roadrunner) that
have since been dismantled, and were not that widely used otherwise.

Until recently I still had a working QS22, which meant I was able to
keep the platform support working, but unfortunately that machine has
now died.

I'm not aware of any users. If there is a user that wants to keep the
upstream support working, we can look at bringing some of the code back
as appropriate.

See previous discussion at [2].

Remove the top-level config symbol PPC_IBM_CELL_BLADE, and then
the dependent symbols PPC_CELL_NATIVE, PPC_CELL_COMMON, CBE_RAS,
PPC_IBM_CELL_RESETBUTTON, PPC_IBM_CELL_POWERBUTTON, CBE_THERM, and
AXON_MSI. Then remove the associated C files and headers, and trim
unused header content (some is shared with PS3).

Note that PPC_CELL_COMMON sounds like it would build code shared with
PS3, but it does not. It's a relic from when code was shared between the
Blade support and QPACE support.

Most of the primary authors already have CREDITS entries, with the
exception of Christian, so add one for him.
