It's not entirely correct to use ->num_active_comps for max-prio limit, as
->num_active_comps just tells the number of configured algorithms, not the
max configured priority.  For instance, in the following theoretical
example:

    [lz4] [nil] [nil] [deflate]

->num_active_comps is 2, while the actual max-prio is 3.

Drop ->num_active_comps and use ZRAM_MAX_COMPS instead.
