zram: make compression algorithm selection possible

Add and document `comp_algorithm' device attribute.  This attribute allows
to show supported compression and currently selected compression
algorithms:

	cat /sys/block/zram0/comp_algorithm
	[lzo] lz4

and change selected compression algorithm:
	echo lzo > /sys/block/zram0/comp_algorithm

3) Set Disksize
3) Select compression algorithm
Using comp_algorithm device attribute one can see available and
currently selected (shown in square brackets) compression algortithms,
change selected compression algorithm (once the device is initialised
there is no way to change compression algorithm).
Examples:
#show supported compression algorithms
cat /sys/block/zram0/comp_algorithm
lzo [lz4]
#select lzo compression algorithm
echo lzo > /sys/block/zram0/comp_algorithm
4) Set Disksize
Set disk size by writing the value to sysfs node 'disksize'.
The value can be either in bytes or you can use mem suffixes.
