This change does not change any sysfs names or behavior, so does not
break any scripts that assume the current behavior. I also verified that
sysfs documentation (ABI/testing/sysfs-block-zram) need not be changed
and same with drivers/staging/zram/zram.txt.

PS: zram_set_disksize() change (patch 1/5) also does not break any
documentation.

Thanks,
