There are a few atomic_t statistics in zswap that are valuable to have in the debugfs attributes. Rather than have non-atomic mirrors of all of them, as is done in zcache right now (see drivers/staging/ramster/zcache-main.c:131), I thought this to be a cleaner solution. Granted, I personally have no use for the setting part; only the getting part. I only included the setting operations to keep the balance and conform with the rest of the debugfs implementation.
