While having a function to change the limit is fine, the setting of the
initial limit should be a parameter to zs_create_pool() since, if the
user doesn't call zs_set_limit_size_bytes() after zs_create_pool(), the
default size is 0.

This also breaks zswap which does its pool size limiting in the zswap
layer using zs_get_total_size_bytes() to poll for the pool size.

It also has implications for the new zpool abstraction layer which
doesn't have a handle for setting the pool limit.

Could you do what zswap does already and enforce the pool limit in the
zram code?
