It doesn't make sense for us to retry to compress an uncompressible page (comp_len == PAGE_SIZE) in zsmalloc slowpath, because we will be storing it uncompressed anyway. We can avoid wasting time on another compression attempt. It is enough to take lock (zcomp_stream_get) and execute the code below.
