I see in Documentation/blockdev/zram.txt: In order to enable compression backend's multi stream support max_comp_streams must be initially set to desired concurrency level before ZRAM device initialisation. I guess that when you set disksize the zram device is "locked" for setting changes. It means that modify already initialized (created) zram devices is impossible. You have to reset the device to "unlock" the device setting.
