Minchan, I'm fine with the change.

Two things from my side:

1) The commit message, probably, can be a bit more informative. Something
like this?

        ZRAM always enables CRYPTO_LZO because lzo-rle is the hardcoded
        fallback compression algorithm, which means that on systems where
        ZRAM always use, for instance, CRYPTO_ZSTD lzo kernel module
        becomes unneeded. This patch removes the hardcoded lzo-lre
        dependency, instead ZRAM picks the first supported CRYPTO
        compression algorithm, should it be ZSTD or LZ4, etc; and only
        forcibly enables CRYPTO_LZO (previous behaviour) if none of the
        alternative algorithms were selected.


2) The ZRAM_AUTOSEL_ALGO allows to deselect CRYPTO_LZO only if
CRYPTO_LZ4/CRYPTO_LZ4HC/CRYPTO_842/CRYPTO_ZSTD are compiled in (=y).
If any of the algorithms is selected as a module (=m) then CRYPTO_LZO
is selected as the default algorithm. Apparently depends on !(CONFIG_FOO)
means depends on !(CONFIG_FOO=y).

It appears that the below change fixes it, but it looks a bit ugly.
