Subject: [PATCH v3] zram: don't free statically defined names

When CONFIG_ZRAM_MULTI_COMP isn't set ZRAM_SECONDARY_COMP can hold
default_compressor, because it's the same offset as ZRAM_PRIMARY_COMP,
so we need to make sure that we don't attempt to kfree() the
statically defined compressor name.

This is detected by KASAN.

Changes in v2:
 - removed comment from source code about freeing statically defined compression
 - removed part of KASAN report from commit description
 - added information about CONFIG_ZRAM_MULTI_COMP into commit description

Changes in v3:
 - modified commit description based on Sergey's comment
 - changed start for-loop to ZRAM_PRIMARY_COMP
