Subject: [PATCH 5/8] zram: return zram device_id value from zram_add()

ZRAM_CTL_ADD ioctl requires valid device_id to be provided, that can be a
bit inconvenient. Change zram_add() to return negative value upon new device
creation failure, and device_id (>= 0) value otherwise.

This prepares ZRAM_CTL_ADD to perform automatic device_id assignment. New
device_id will be returned back to user-space (so user can reference that
device as zram%d device_id).
