Sergey Senozhatsky 84b33bf788 zram: introduce recompress sysfs knob ...

Allow zram to recompress (using secondary compression streams)
pages.

Re-compression algorithms (we support up to 3 at this stage)
are selected via recomp_algorithm:

  echo "algo=zstd priority=1" > /sys/block/zramX/recomp_algorithm

Please read documentation for more details.

We support several recompression modes:

1) IDLE pages recompression is activated by `idle` mode

  echo "type=idle" > /sys/block/zram0/recompress

2) Since there may be many idle pages user-space may pass a size
threshold value (in bytes) and we will recompress pages only
of equal or greater size:

  echo "threshold=888" > /sys/block/zram0/recompress

3) HUGE pages recompression is activated by `huge` mode

  echo "type=huge" > /sys/block/zram0/recompress

4) HUGE_IDLE pages recompression is activated by `huge_idle` mode

  echo "type=huge_idle" > /sys/block/zram0/recompress
