Now, zram uses contextless compression API and there is no reason
to limit compression algorithm through hard-wired string. This patch
remove it so enable all contextless compression algorithm in the
system.
After this patch, available compression algorithm for zram can be
retrieved by searching contextless compression in /proc/crypto.
cat /proc/crypto | grep ccomp -B 7
name : lz4
[snip...]
type : ccomp
Previous interface comp_algorithm attr will remain to set new algorithm.
Read from previous interface also works for compatibility but it will
be wrong.
Note that after this patch is applied, there is no way to know current
compression algorithm so it's really bad thing. Please let me know proper
solution if someone have better idea.
