Subject: [PATCH] zram: cut the trailing new-line in algorithm name

supplied sysfs values sometimes contain new-line symbols, which we
also copy as a compression algorithm name. this works fine, because
we use sysfs_streq(), which takes care of new line symbols, when we
lookup for compression algorithm. we print its name if zcomp_create()
has failed, which unfortunately doesn't lok too good

 zram: Cannot initialise LXZ
            compressing backend

cut the trailing new-line symbol, so the reporting line will look
like

  zram: Cannot initialise LXZ compressing backend

we also now can replace sysfs_streq() in zcomp_available_show() with
strcmp().
