Subject: [RFC][PATCH 1/4] zram: introduce zcomp_backend flags callback

Add ->flags() callback to struct zcomp_backend and zcomp_flags()
function. Compression backends can define own flags and let
compression frontend/zram know them. This is a preparation
patch to enable ZLIB compression backend support.

This also adds two new functions to zcomp: zcomp_decompress_begin()
and zcomp_decompress_end(). These functions are here to hide
backend specific ->flags from zram. For backends that don't
require zstrm for read path zcomp_decompress_begin() will return
NULL, passing it to zcomp_decompress_end() will do no harm.
For backends that do require zstrm for decompression it will
provide opaque pointer to zstrm.

IOW, it goes like this:

  void *decomp_data = zcomp_decompress_begin(zram->comp);
  ret = zram_decompress_page(zram, decomp_data, uncmem, index);
  zcomp_decompress_end(zram->comp, decomp_data);

For backends that require decompress zstrm, zcomp_decompress_begin()
calls zcomp_strm_find(), so it can sleep.
