Both zram and zcache use xvmalloc allocator. If xvmalloc
is compiled separately for both of them, we will get linker
error if they are both selected as "built-in". We can also
get linker error regarding missing xvmalloc symbols if zram
is not built.
So, we now compile xvmalloc separately and export its symbols
which are then used by both of zram and zcache.

We can not configure zram device without sysfs anyway, so make zram
depends on it.

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.
