Currently init_lock only prevents concurrent execution of zram_init_device()
and zram_reset_device() but not zram_make_request() nor sysfs store functions.
zram_make_request() initializes the device first time it is used and
from then on no sysfs config writes are allowed till the device is reset
-- for example, you cannot change disksize while a disk is in
initialized state. So, I could not understand why we need to protect
zram_make_request vs sysfs stores.
Thanks,
