Subject: [PATCH 1/3] zram: make max_zpage_size configurable

It makes sense to have control over what compression ratios are
ok to store pages uncompressed and what not. Moreover, if we end
up using zbud allocator for zram, any attempt to allocate a whole
page will fail, so we may want to avoid this as much as possible.

So, let's have max_zpage_size configurable as a module parameter.
