Subject: [PATCH v1] zram: don't retry compress incompressible page

It doesn't make sense for us to retry to compress an uncompressible
page (comp_len == PAGE_SIZE) in zsmalloc slowpath, because we will
be storing it uncompressed anyway. We can avoid wasting time on
another compression attempt. It is enough to take lock
(zcomp_stream_get) and execute the code below.

This patch is made taking into account that commit
e7be8d1dd983156bbdd22c0319b71119a8fbb697 is reverted.
