zram: introduce algorithm_params device attribute

Browse Source 
This attribute is used to setup compression algorithms' parameters, so we
can tweak algorithms' characteristics.  At this point only 'level' is
supported (to be extended in the future).

Each call sets up parameters for one particular algorithm, which should be
specified either by the algorithm's priority or algo name.  This is
expected to be called after corresponding algorithm is selected via
comp_algorithm or recomp_algorithm.

 echo "priority=0 level=1" > /sys/block/zram0/algorithm_params
or
 echo "algo=zstd level=1" > /sys/block/zram0/algorithm_params
