    zram: zram memory size limitation · 9ada9da9

    Since zram has no control feature to limit memory usage, it makes hard to
    manage system memrory.
    
    This patch adds new knob "mem_limit" via sysfs to set up the a limit so
    that zram could fail allocation once it reaches the limit.
    
    In addition, user could change the limit in runtime so that he could
    manage the memory more dynamically.
    
    Initial state is no limit so it doesn't break old behavior.
