Subject: [PATCH 2/3] selftests/zram01.sh: Fix compression ratio calculation

zram01 uses `free -m` to measure zram memory usage. The results are nonsense
because they are polluted by all running processes on the system.

Use the third field of /sys/block/zram<id>/mm_stat to measure memory usage instead. The file is
available since kernel 4.1.

orig_data_size(first): uncompressed size of data stored in this disk.
compr_data_size(second): compressed size of data stored in this disk
mem_used_total(third): the amount of memory allocated for this disk

Also remove useless zram cleanup call in zram_fill_fs and so we don't need to cleanup
zram twice if fails.
