hm... should't we subtract zram_dedup_dup_size(zram) from
->stats.compr_data_size? we don't use extra memory for dedupped
pages. or don't inc ->stats.compr_data_size for dedupped pages?

for instance, same_page_write() does not inc ->stats.compr_data_size,
while successful zram_dedup_find() does (in __zram_bvec_write()).
