Good catch.
As well, we could move zcomp_destroy and memset(&zram->stats)
out of the lock but zram_rw_page, ZRAM_ATTR_RO, disksize_show
and orig_data_size_show have a race bug which access stats
out of the lock so that it could show the stale vaule.
Although it's not a significant, there is no reason to hesitate the fix. :)
I will fix it. Thanks!
