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.

Since b09ab054b69b, zram has used QUEUE_FLAG_STABLE_WRITES to prevent
buffer change between 1st and 2nd memory allocations. Since we remove
second trial memory allocation logic, we could remove the STABLE_WRITES
flag because there is no change buffer to be modified under us.
