Hi Andrew,

Please drop this patch. It makes reviewer think "oh, zram_recompress
pass the higher prio_max value than the one zram allowed by somehow
so we need to get the min value here", which is not true once review
read code again/again and scratch head and then post patch to remove
the unncessary line. I prefer reviewer happier.
