Let's add about the stable_write, too in the description.


"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"
