zram: remove max_num_devices limitation

Browse Source 
Limiting the number of zram devices to 32 (default max_num_devices value)
is confusing, let's drop it.  A user with 2TB or 4TB of RAM, for example,
can request as many devices as he can handle.

@ -19,7 +19,9 @@ Following shows a typical sequence of steps for using zram.
1) Load Module:
modprobe zram num_devices=4
This creates 4 devices: /dev/zram{0,1,2,3}
(num_devices parameter is optional. Default: 1)
num_devices parameter is optional and tells zram how many devices should be
pre-created. Default: 1.
2) Set max number of compression streams
Compression backend may use up to max_comp_streams compression streams,
