I reviewed your patchset roughly and I feel most of patches make sense
to me but some of that isn't not sure because you didn't write up the
possible scenario, expecially "zram: use zram->lock to protect zram_free_page()
in swap free notify path".

If your patchset fix real problem, it should go to the stable tree so
you need to write description up in detail.

So, please rewrite up description on all of patches and resend.
Thanks!
