[PATCH] Revert "zram: convert remaining CLASS_ATTR() to CLASS_ATTR_RO()"

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Wade Mealing <wmealing@redhat.com>

Turns out that the permissions for 0400 really are what we want here,
otherwise any user can write to this file.

Minor confusion on my side:
Did you mean "read from" instead of "write to"?
I.e. only owner may read but not group nor others.
Whereas using CLASS_ATTR_RO would resolve into 0444.

Sorry, you are correct, I'll fix the changelog text and send this out
again.

It's a "fun" file, reading from it causes something to happen, not the
normal way things work :(

s/write to/read from/

As Wade reported, it's sufficient to read from it to create a zram entry.
