Subject: [PATCH 4.9 08/33] selftests/zram: Skip max_comp_streams interface on newer kernel

From: Yang Xu <xuyang2018.jy@...itsu.com>

[ Upstream commit fc4eb486a59d70bd35cf1209f0e68c2d8b979193 ]

Since commit 43209ea2d17a ("zram: remove max_comp_streams internals"), zram
has switched to per-cpu streams. Even kernel still keep this interface for
some reasons, but writing to max_comp_stream doesn't take any effect. So
skip it on newer kernel ie 4.7.

The code that comparing kernel version is from xfstests testsuite ext4/053.
