Subject: [PATCH] block:zram: do not keep dangling zcomp pointer after zram reset

We do all reset operations under write lock, so we don't need
to save ->disksize and ->comp to stack variables. Another thing
is that ->comp is freed during zram reset, but comp pointer is
not NULL-ed, so zram keeps the freed pointer value.
