[PATCH 7/8] zram: remove max_num_devices limitation

From: Sergey Senozhatsky
Date: Thu Feb 26 2015 - 09:11:15 EST


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.
