zram: introduce recompress sysfs knob
Allow zram to recompress (using secondary compression streams)
pages.
Re-compression algorithms (we support up to 3 at this stage)
are selected via recomp_algorithm:
echo "algo=zstd priority=1" > /sys/block/zramX/recomp_algorithm
Please read documentation for more details.
We support several recompression modes:
1) IDLE pages recompression is activated by `idle` mode
echo "type=idle" > /sys/block/zram0/recompress
2) Since there may be many idle pages user-space may pass a size
threshold value (in bytes) and we will recompress pages only
of equal or greater size:
echo "threshold=888" > /sys/block/zram0/recompress
3) HUGE pages recompression is activated by `huge` mode
echo "type=huge" > /sys/block/zram0/recompress
4) HUGE_IDLE pages recompression is activated by `huge_idle` mode
echo "type=huge_idle" > /sys/block/zram0/recompress
