zram: rename writeback_compressed device attr
Rename writeback_compressed attr to compressed_writeback to avoid possible
confusion and have more natural naming. writeback_compressed may look
like an alternative version of writeback while in fact
writeback_compressed only sets a writeback property. Make this
distinction more clear with a new compressed_writeback name.
This updates a feature which is new in 7.0-rcX.

By default zram stores written back pages in decompressed (raw) form, which means that writeback operation involves decompression of the page before writing it to the backing device. This behavior can be changed by enabling -`writeback_compressed` feature, which causes zram to write compressed pages +`compressed_writeback` feature, which causes zram to write compressed pages to the backing device, thus avoiding decompression overhead.
