The above is not needed in the commit message (not even sure if the
backtrace below is relevant).

We probably don't really need this comment.

OK, so... I wonder how do you get a `default_compressor` on a
non-ZRAM_PRIMARY_COMP prio.  May I ask what's your reproducer?

I didn't expect `default_compressor` on ZRAM_SECONDARY_COMP
and below.  As far as I can tell, we only do this:

	comp_algorithm_set(zram, ZRAM_PRIMARY_COMP, default_compressor);

in zram_reset_device() and zram_add().  So, how does it end up in
ZRAM_SECONDARY_COMP...
