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.
