zram: add recompression algorithm sysfs knob
Introduce recomp_algorithm sysfs knob that controls secondary algorithm
selection used for recompression.
We will support up to 3 secondary compression algorithms which are sorted
in order of their priority. To select an algorithm user has to provide
its name and priority:
echo "algo=zstd priority=1" > /sys/block/zramX/recomp_algorithm
echo "algo=deflate priority=2" > /sys/block/zramX/recomp_algorithm
During recompression zram iterates through the list of registered
secondary algorithms in order of their priorities.
We also have a short version for cases when there is only
one secondary compression algorithm:
echo "algo=zstd" > /sys/block/zramX/recomp_algorithm
This will register zstd as the secondary algorithm with priority 1.
