zram: update documentation

Several documentation changes.

First, we never mentioned any errors and never required any
error checks in documentation.

Second, mention that there is another way to configure and
manage zram devices -- zramctl, provided by util-linux.

Third, add a bit of clarification on why `mem_used_max' attr
is RW and correct some typos.

 * Usage
 
+There are several ways to configure and manage zram device(-s):
+a) using zram and zram_control sysfs attributes
+b) using zramctl utility, provided by util-linux (util-linux@vger.kernel.org).
+
+In this document we will describe only 'manual' zram configuration steps,
+IOW, zram and zram_control sysfs attributes.
+
+In order to get a better idea about zramctl please consult util-linux
+documentation, zramctl man-page or `zramctl --help'. Please be informed
+that zram maintainers do not develop/maintain util-linux or zramctl, should
+you have any questions please contact util-linux@vger.kernel.org
+
 Following shows a typical sequence of steps for using zram.
 
+WARNING
+=======
+For the sake of simplicity we skip error checking parts in most of the
+examples below. However, it is your sole responsibility to handle errors.
+
+zram sysfs attributes always return negative values in case of errors.
+The list of possible return codes:
+-EBUSY	-- an attempt to modify an attribute that cannot be changed once
+the device has been initialised. Please reset device first;
+-ENOMEM	-- zram was not able to allocate enough memory to fulfil your
+needs;
+-EINVAL	-- invalid input has been provided.
+
+If you use 'echo', the returned value that is changed by 'echo' utility,
+and, in general case, something like:
+
+	echo 3 > /sys/block/zram0/max_comp_streams
+	if [ $? -ne 0 ];
+		handle_error
+	fi
+
+should suffice.
