Zram sysfs interface was not making any check of
proper compressor name when setting it.
Any name is accepted, but further tries of device
creation would end up with not very meaningfull error.
eg.
echo lz0 > comp_algorithm
echo 200M > disksize
echo: write error: Invalid argument
This commit fixes that behaviour with returning
EINVAL and proper error message.
