Subject: [PATCH 3/7] zram: remove unnecessary free

[1] introduced pending zram slot free in zram's write path
in case of missing slot free by memory allocation failure in
zram_slot_free_notify but it is not necessary because
we have already freed the slot right before overwriting.

[1] [a0c516cbfc, zram: don't grab mutex in zram_slot_free_noity]
