Hello Nitin,
hope you are fine.

how about the following one? I moved some of the code to zram_compress_page()
(very similar to zram_decompress_page()), so errors are easier to care in 
zram_bvec_write(). now we handle both use after-kfree (as you did in your patch),
and use after-kunmap. 

please review.
