Creates per-device sysfs nodes in /sys/block/zram<id>/
Currently following stats are exported:
- disksize
- num_reads
- num_writes
- invalid_io
- zero_pages
- orig_data_size
- compr_data_size
- mem_used_total
By default, disksize is set to 0. So, to start using
a zram device, fist write a disksize value and then
initialize device by writing any positive value to
initstate. For example:
# initialize /dev/zram0 with 50MB disksize
echo 50*1024*1024 | bc > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
echo 1 > /sys/block/zram0/initstate
When done using a disk, issue reset to free its memory
by writing any positive value to reset node:
echo 1 > /sys/block/zram0/reset
This change also obviates the need for 'rzscontrol' utility.

Related changes:
- Modify revelant Kconfig and Makefile accordingly.
- Change include filenames in code.
- Remove dependency on CONFIG_SWAP in Kconfig as zram usage
is no longer limited to swap disks.
