[LTP] [PATCH 1/1] Fix compression ratio calculation in zram01

zram01 uses `free -m` to measure zram memory usage. The results are nonsense
because they are polluted by all running processes on the system.

Use /sys/block/zram<id>/mm_stat to measure memory usage instead. The file is
available since kernel 4.1.
