I backported this patch against on stable-v4.4.61. I hope to merge this.
Sergey, Could you review this?

Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH for v4.4] zram: do not use copy_page with non-page aligned address

commit d72e9a7a93e4f8e9e52491921d99e0c8aa89eb4e upstream

The copy_page is optimized memcpy for page-alinged address.  If it is
used with non-page aligned address, it can corrupt memory which means
system corruption.  With zram, it can happen with

1. 64K architecture
2. partial IO
3. slub debug

Partial IO need to allocate a page and zram allocates it via kmalloc.
With slub debug, kmalloc(PAGE_SIZE) doesn't return page-size aligned
address.  And finally, copy_page(mem, cmem) corrupts memory.

So, this patch changes it to memcpy/memset.

Actuaully, we don't need to change zram_bvec_write part because zsmalloc
returns page-aligned address in case of PAGE_SIZE class but it's not
good to rely on the internal of zsmalloc.

And I didn't change clear_page in handle_zero_page intentionally because
it's very clear no problem because kmap_atomic guarantees address
is page-size alinged.

Fixes: 42e99bd ("zram: optimize memory operations with clear_page()/copy_page()")
