Subject: [PATCH 4/8] zram: add dynamic device add/remove functionality

Introduce /dev/zram-control interface which lets user-space to add a new zram
device (ZRAM_CTL_ADD ioctl) or remove the existing one (ZRAM_CTL_REMOVE ioctl).

This patch adds only two ioctl operations: add device and remove device. There
is no support for `automatic' device_id generation in this patch (will come up
later), so correct device_id must be provided.

Corresponding user-space visible defines (ZRAM_CTL_ADD/ZRAM_CTL_REMOVE) are
located in a new header file: include/uapi/linux/zram.h. Well, we have `private'
zram_drv.h and `public' zram.h headers from now on. I don't really want to make
zram_drv.h public, that would require moving of all private defines and structs
to zram_drv.c (100+ lines of code) and zram_drv.c is already big and a bit
complicated. On the other hand, zram uses struct block_device_operations that
has a per-device ->ioctl callback (not used by zram as of now). Ideally, we can
drop some of the existing zram_stats sysfs device ATTRs and use ioctl
(f.e. ZRAM_CTL_INFO) to copy out zram->stats to user-space. That will require
zram_info structure being visible to user-space via zram.h, so this new header
file can be of use.

Interface usage example (pretty much like LOOP ctl interface):

	#include <linux/zram.h>

	cfd = open("/dev/zram-control", O_RDWR);

	/* add a new specific zram device */
	err = ioctl(cfd, ZRAM_CTL_ADD, devnr);

	/* remove a specific zram device */
	err = ioctl(cfd, ZRAM_CTL_REMOVE, devnr);

NOTE, zram provides /dev/zram-control alias and zram module will be loaded
automatically when /dev/zram-control is access the first time. However, there
might be users who already depend on the fact that at least zram0 device gets
always created by zram_init(). Thus, due to compatibility reasons, along with
requested device_id (f.e. ZRAM_CTL_ADD 5) zram0 will also be created.
