Subject: [PATCH RESEND] zram: correct offset usage in zram_bio_discard

We want to skip the physical block(PAGE_SIZE) which is partially
covered by the discard bio, so we check the remaining size and
subtract it if there is a need to goto the next physical block.

The current offset usage in zram_bio_discard is incorrect, it will
cause its upper filesystem breakdown.
Consider the following scenario:
on some architecture or config, PAGE_SIZE is 64K for example,
filesystem is set up on zram disk without PAGE_SIZE aligned,
a discard bio leads to a offset = 4K and size=72K,
normally, it should not really discard any physical block as it
partially cover two physical blocks.
However, with the current offset usage, it will discard the second
physical block and free its memory, which will cause filesystem breakdown.

This patch corrects the offset usage in zram_bio_discard.
