staging: zram: Rename module parameter
zram accepts number of devices to be created
as a module parameter. This was renamed from
num_devices to zram_num_devices (without updating
the documentation!) since num_devices was declared
as a non-static global variable, polluting the global
namespace. Now, we declare it as a static variable
and revert back the name change.
The documentation (zram.txt) already mentions
num_devices as the module parameter name.

staging: zram: fix zram locking
Currently init_lock only prevents concurrent execution of zram_init_device()
and zram_reset_device() but not zram_make_request() nor sysfs store functions.
This patch changes init_lock into a rw_semaphore. A write lock is taken by
init, reset and store functions, a read lock is taken by zram_make_request().
Also, avoids to release the lock before calling __zram_reset_device() for
cleaning after a failed init, thus preventing any concurrent task to see an
inconsistent state of zram.

Staging: zram: round up the disk size provided by user
Currently disksize_store() round down the disk size provided by user.
This is probably not what one would expect, so round up instead.

Staging: zram: Remove need for explicit device initialization
Currently, the user has to explicitly write a positive value to
initstate sysfs node before the device can be used. This event
triggers allocation of per-device metadata like memory pool,
table array and so on.
We do not pre-initialize all zram devices since the 'table' array,
mapping disk blocks to compressed chunks, takes considerable amount
of memory (8 bytes per page). So, pre-initializing all devices will
be quite wasteful if only few or none of the devices are actually
used.
This explicit device initialization from user is an odd requirement and
can be easily avoided. We now initialize the device when first write is
done to the device.

Staging: zram: Replace ioctls with sysfs interface
Creates per-device sysfs nodes in /sys/block/zram<id>/
Currently following stats are exported:
- disksize
- num_reads
- num_writes
- invalid_io
- zero_pages
- orig_data_size
- compr_data_size
- mem_used_total
By default, disksize is set to 0. So, to start using
a zram device, fist write a disksize value and then
initialize device by writing any positive value to
initstate. For example:
# initialize /dev/zram0 with 50MB disksize
echo 50*1024*1024 | bc > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
echo 1 > /sys/block/zram0/initstate
When done using a disk, issue reset to free its memory
by writing any positive value to reset node:
echo 1 > /sys/block/zram0/reset
This change also obviates the need for 'rzscontrol' utility.
