Revert "Staging: zram: work around oops due to startup ordering snafu"
This reverts commit 7e24cce38a99f373450db67bf576fe73e8168d66 because it
was never appropriate for mainline.
Do not check for init flag before starting I/O - zram module is unusable
without this fix.
The oops mentioned in the reverted commit message was actually a problem
only with the zram version as present in project's own repository where
we allocate struct zram_stats_cpu upon device initialization. OTOH, In
mainline/staging version of zram, we allocate struct stats upfront, so
this oops cannot happen in mainline version.
Checking for init_done flag in zram_make_request() results in a *no-op*
for any I/O operation since we simply always return success. This flag
is actually set when the first write occurs on a zram disk which
triggers its initialization.
