Subject: [PATCH 4.2] zram: fix pool names truncation

Hello,

found this reading the code just now. I do believe we need this
patch in 4.2 (before 4.3), because the bug breaks new devices
creation under some specific conditions -- new pool names are
getting truncated to only 3 digits and, thus,
debugfs_create_dir() fails.

The commit message contains more details.


Andrew, can you please pick up this patch?
