In theory disksize_store() can't come in after del_gendisk() returns,
then zram_reset_device() should cleanup everything, that is the issue
you described in commit log.

We need to understand the exact reason why there is still cpuhp node
left, can you share us the exact steps for reproducing the issue?
Otherwise we may have to trace and narrow down the reason.
