All looks good, verified.

No, I haven't seen any error messages. Short description what happens:

- lookup_swap_cache() return NULL since do_xarray() call return FALSE
- in try_zram_decompress(), since 'entry' is NULL, page is filled with 00
	if (!entry || (flags & ZRAM_FLAG_SAME_BIT)) {

So without the patch, pages in swap cache will be seen to be a 'zero' page.
