If CONFIG_ZSWAP is set to N, it means zswap cannot be enabled.
zswap_never_enabled() should return true.

The only effect of this issue is that with Barry's latest large folio
swapin patches for zram ("mm: support mTHP swap-in for zRAM-like
swapfile"), we will always fallback to order-0 swapin, even mistakenly
when !CONFIG_ZSWAP.

Basically this bug makes Barry's in progress patches not work at all.

The API was created to inform the mm core that zswap has never been
enabled, allowing the mm core to perform mTHP swap-in.  This is a
transitional solution until zswap supports mTHP.  If zswap has been
enabled, performing mTHP swap-in will result in corrupted data.  You
may find the answer in the mTHP swap-in series:
