zram: introduce per-device debug_stat sysfs node
debug_stat sysfs is read-only and represents various debugging data that zram developers may need. This file is not meant to be used by anyone else: its content is not documented and will change any time w/o any notice. Therefore, the output of debug_stat file contains a version string. To avoid any confusion, we will increase the version number every time we modify the output. At the moment this file exports only one value -- the number of re-compressions, IOW, the number of times compression fast path has failed. This stat is temporary any will be useful in case if any per-cpu compression streams regressions will be reported.
