zram: add max_pages param to recompression
Introduce "max_pages" param to recompress device attribute which sets an
upper limit on the number of entries (pages) zram attempts to recompress
(in this particular recompression call). S/W recompression can be quite
expensive so limiting the number of pages recompress touches can be quite
helpful.
