See commit 7e24cce38a99f3 which added the code that you now remove.
You were cc'd on it, I don't think we got any reply to it.
This commit shows oops in zram_inc_stat() which does not exist in
staging tree version of zram. Its actually a problem with zram version
as present in project's own repository where we allocate struct
zram_stats_cpu upon device initialization. OTOH, In mainline/staging
version of zram, we allocate struct stats upfront, so this oops cannot
happen in mainline version.
So, this commit is not even applicable for mainline/staging tree. My
bad, I didn't get a chance to review that patch.
So no. I'm not taking this without way more explanations of why the
original problem isn't a problem any more.
I will now end development on local project repository and sync it with
the mainline version, so all future development happens on
mainline/staging only, avoiding such confusions in future.
