Subject: [PATCH v3 9/9] zram: use crypto decompress_noctx API

Crypto subsystem now supports decompress_noctx API that requires
special tfm_noctx. This tfm can be shared by multiple concurrent
decompress user because this API doesn't rely on this tfm object
except to fetch decompress function pointer.

Until changing to use crypto API, zram doesn't require any zstrm
on decompress so decompress is parallelized unlimitedly. But, previous
patch make zram to use crypto API and this requires one zstrm on every
decompress users so, in some zstrm contended situations, zram's
performance would be degraded.

This patch makes zram use decompress_noctx API and restore zram's
performance as the time that zram doesn't use crypto API.

Following is zram's read performance number.

* iozone -t 4 -R -r 16K -s 60M -I +Z -i 0 -i 1
* max_stream is set to 1
* Output is in Kbytes/sec

zram-base vs zram-crypto vs zram-crypto-noctx
