Subject: [PATCH 1/2] crypto: export crypto_alg_list and rwsem

Until now, zram uses compression algorithm through direct call
to core algorithm function, but, it has drawback that we need to add
compression algorithm manually to zram. If we don't do that, we cannot
utilize various compression algorithms in the system. To improve this
situation, zram will be changed to use crypto subsystem in following
patch. There is one problem with this change. Zram has a interface
that what compression algorithm it can support. Although crypto subsystem
has /proc interface to search all of crypto algorithm, but, there is
no way to get just compression algorithm in cryto subsystem. To implement
it on zram-side, crypto_alg_list and rwsem should be exported so
this patch do it.
