1. To disable multi-zRAM device creation (based on the number of CPU cores) in the original script, as it's deprecated, can cause some issues, and is unnecessary since kernel 4.7.

See https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1185928 and https://github.com/Nefelim4ag/systemd-swap/issues/176

2. To change the zRAM compression algorithm from "lzo-rle" to "zstd", as it yields the highest compression ratio, hence the fastest to complete the task. Both compression ratio and speed are better than "lzo-rle". Therefore, changing the compression algorithm to "zstd" will benefit zRAM usage.
