Subject: zram/zcomp: do not zero out zcomp private pages

Do not __GFP_ZERO allocated zcomp ->private pages.  We keep allocated
streams around and use them for read/write requests, so we supply a zeroed
out ->private to compression algorithm as a scratch buffer only once --
the first time we use that stream.  For the rest of IO requests served by
this stream ->private usually contains some temporarily data from the
previous requests.
