[PATCHv4 05/10] zram: remove max_num_devices limitation

[Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky@gmail.com>]

Limiting the number of zram devices to 32 (default max_num_devices value)
is confusing, let's drop it.  A user with 2TB or 4TB of RAM, for example,
can request as many devices as he can handle.

+pre-created. Default: 1.
 
 2) Set max number of compression streams
 	Compression backend may use up to max_comp_streams compression streams,
