Subject: [PATCHv5 0/4] add compressing abstraction and multi stream support

This patchset introduces zcomp compression backend abstraction
adding ability to support compression algorithms other than LZO;
support for multi compression streams, making parallel compressions
possible.

Diff from v4 (reviewed by Minchan Kim):
-- renamed zcomp buffer_lock; removed src len and dst len from
   compress() and decompress(); not using term `buffer' and
   `workmem' in code and documentation; define compress() and
   decompress() functions for LZO backend; not using goto's;
   do not put idle zcomp_strm to idle list tail.

Diff from v3:
-- renamed compression backend and working memory structs as requested
   by Minchan Kim; fixed several issues noted by Minchan Kim.

Sergey Senozhatsky (4):
  zram: introduce compressing backend abstraction
  zram: use zcomp compressing backends
  zram: zcomp support multi compressing streams
  zram: document max_comp_streams
