Subject: [PATCHv5 10/13] zram: Add algo parameter support to zram_recompress()

Recompression iterates through all the registered secondary
compression algorithms in order of their priorities so that
we have higher chances of finding the algorithm that compresses
a particular page. This, however, may not always be best
approach and sometimes we may want to limit recompression to
only one particular algorithm. For instance, when a higher
priority algorithm uses too much power and device has a
relatively low battery level we may want to limit recompression
to use only a lower priority algorithm, which uses less power.

Introduce algo= parameter support to recompression sysfs knob
so that user-sapce can request recompression with particular
algorithm only:

  echo "type=idle algo=zstd" > /sys/block/zramX/recompress
