Sergey Senozhatsky 2aea8493d3 zram: rename zstrm find-release functions
This has started as a 'add zlib support' work, but after some thinking I
saw no blockers for a bigger change -- a switch to crypto API.

We don't have an idle zstreams list anymore and our write path now works
absolutely differently, preventing preemption during compression.  This
removes possibilities of read paths preempting writes at wrong places
and opens the door for a move from custom LZO/LZ4 compression backends
implementation to a more generic one, using crypto compress API.

This patch set also eliminates the need of a new context-less crypto API
interface, which was quite hard to sell, so we can move along faster.

benchmarks:

(x86_64, 4GB, zram-perf script)

perf reported run-time fio (max jobs=3).  I performed fio test with the
increasing number of parallel jobs (max to 3) on a 3G zram device, using
`static' data and the following crypto comp algorithms:

	842, deflate, lz4, lz4hc, lzo

the output was:

 - test running time (which can tell us what algorithms performs faster)

and

 - zram mm_stat (which tells the compressed memory size, max used memory, etc).

It's just for information.  for example, LZ4HC has twice the running
time of LZO, but the compressed memory size is: 23592960 vs 34603008
bytes.

This patch (of 8):

We don't perform any zstream idle list lookup anymore, so
zcomp_strm_find()/zcomp_strm_release() names are not representative.

Rename to zcomp_stream_get()/zcomp_stream_put().
