I thought PFN 0 must be reserved or already used during bootup, so no
chance of it getting swapped out and reaching zram.

zsmalloc also returns 0 as a result of zero sized request. In general,
malloc is supposed to treat zero-sized request as valid and is supposed
to return either 0 or a valid pointer in that case. So, in that user
should be able to pass on 0 to any zs_* API. Anyways, I don't consider
wither removing or keeping the assert as-is or just do BUG_ON(!page). so
any future cleanups could cleanup this BUG_ON if you feel like.

Ok, then we can clean this up in a future patch.
