I don't have any machine that has zram autoloaded.  There's something
on your system that is telling something to load the zram module.  It
won't load without something explicitly loading it.

I have no idea what this script is, or why it's removing the zram
module like that.  It doesn't appear packaged in Fedora, so I can't
really tell you where to report your issue but this isn't a kernel
problem that I can see...
