zram: introduce custom comp backends API

Browse Source 
Moving to custom backends implementation gives us ability to have our own
minimalistic and extendable API, and algorithms tunings becomes possible.

The list of compression backends is empty at this point, we will add
backends in the followup patches.

For the time being, the `comp_algorithm` content does not necessarily
show every compression algorithm supported by the kernel. We keep this
list primarily to simplify device configuration and one can configure
a new device with a compression algorithm that is not listed in
`comp_algorithm`. The thing is that, internally, ZRAM uses Crypto API
and, if some of the algorithms were built as modules, it's impossible
to list all of them using, for instance, /proc/crypto or any other
method. This, however, has an advantage of permitting the usage of
custom crypto compression modules (implementing S/W or H/W compression).
For the time being, the `comp_algorithm` content shows only compression
algorithms that are supported by zram.
