[PATCH v3 2/4] zram: give up lazy initialization of zram metadata

[Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org>]

1) User of zram normally do mkfs.xxx or mkswap before using
   the zram block device(ex, normally, do it at booting time)
   It ends up allocating such metadata of zram before real usage so
   benefit of lazy initialzation would be mitigated.

2) Some user want to use zram when memory pressure is high.(ie, load zram
   dynamically, NOT booting time). It does make sense because people don't
   want to waste memory until memory pressure is high(ie, where zram is really
   helpful time). In this case, lazy initialzation could be failed easily
   because we will use GFP_NOIO instead of GFP_KERNEL for avoiding deadlock.
   So the benefit of lazy initialzation would be mitigated, too.

3) Metadata overhead is not critical and Nitin has a plan to diet it.
   4K : 12 byte(64bit machine) -> 64G : 192M so 0.3% isn't big overhead
   If insane user use such big zram device up to 20, it could consume 6% of ram
   but efficieny of zram will cover the waste.

So this patch gives up lazy initialization and instead we initialize metadata
at disksize setting time.
