hm... this sort of looks a bit `unnatural' to me. we have two _independent_
sets -- what zram supports and what crypto supports. that's why you have
to do extra work and consult crypto. can we return back the old scheme:
use ifdef CONFIG in backends, but replace CONFIG_ZRAM with CONFIG_CRYPTO?

e.g.

static const char * const backends[] = {
"lzo",
#ifdef CONFIG_CRYPTO_LZ4
"lz4",
#endif
NULL
};


so you can remove `crypto_has_comp(backends[i], 0, 0)' from
zcomp_available_show(), because zram will support *only* what
crypto supports.
