I'm pretty sure this is wrong.  I've now sent a series to untangle
and fix up the zram I/O path, which should address the underlying
issue here.

It will obviously conflict with this patch, so maybe the best thing is
to get the other page_endio removals into their respective maintainer
trees, and then just do the final removal of the unused function after
-rc1.
