[PATCH v3] zram: auto add new devices on demand

[Timofey Titovets]

From: Timofey Titovets <nefelim4ag@gmail.com>

This add supporting of auto allocate new zram devices on demand, like 
loop devices

This working by following rules:
	- Pre create zram devices specified by num_device
	- if all device already in use -> add new free device

 From v1 -> v2:
Delete useless variable 'ret', added documentation for explain new zram 
behaviour

 From v2 -> v3
Delete logic to destroy not used devices, for avoid concurrency issues
Code refactoring for made patch small and clean as possible
Patch can pass the test:
#!/bin/sh
modprobe zram
while true; do
                 echo 10485760 > /sys/block/zram0/disksize&
                 echo 1 > /sys/block/zram0/reset&
done

Tested on 3.15.5-2-ARCH, can be applied on any kernel version
after this patch 'zram: add LZ4 compression support' -

  	This creates 4 devices: /dev/zram{0,1,2,3}
  	(num_devices parameter is optional. Default: 1)

+	If all device in use kernel will create new zram device

  2) Set max number of compression streams
  	Compression backend may use up to max_comp_streams compression streams,
  	thus allowing up to max_comp_streams concurrent compression operations.
