Subject: [PATCH 2/2] zram: permit sleeping while in pool zs_malloc()

    zram: permit sleeping while in pool zs_malloc()
    
    zram pool is created with GFP_NOIO flag, which may trigger errors because nested allocation
    are able to sleep. set __GFP_WAIT pool flag in zram_init_device() to allow sleeping.
    
     BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/page_alloc.c:2603
