Subject: [PATCH v2] zram: remove double compression logic

The 2nd trial allocation under per-cpu presumption has been
used to prevent regression of allocation failure. However, it
makes trouble for maintenance without significant benefit.
The slowpath branch is executed extremely rarely: getting
there is problematic. Therefore, we delete this branch.

I think this also has to bump `version` to 2, since format of the
file has changed.

Yes, I'll do that in the next patch.

Minchan, do you have any suggestions on this patch?
I want to fix Sergey suggestion and sumbit next patch.

You need to remove zs_free in the path "Compression failed"

Since we don't have double compression, we don't need QUEUE_FLAG_STABLE_WRITES
so you could remove QUEUE_FLAG_STABLE_WRITES, too.

Thanks.
