From: Rui Salvaterra <rsalvaterra@gmail.com>
Subject: zram: break the strict dependency from lzo

>From the beginning, the zram block device always enabled CRYPTO_LZO, since
lzo-rle is hardcoded as the fallback compression algorithm. As a consequence, on
systems where another compression algorithm is chosen (e.g. CRYPTO_ZSTD), the
lzo kernel module becomes unused, while still having to be built/loaded.

This patch removes the hardcoded lzo-rle dependency and allows the user to
select the default compression algorithm for zram at build time. The previous
behaviour is kept, as the default algorithm is still lzo-rle.
