No, this change is unreasonable. zcomp might want to do with zstrm
anything it wants to, because zstrm belongs there. Besides, you change
zcomp_decompress() to require `struct zcomp_strm *zstrm', so let's
stick with this -- pass `struct zcomp_strm *zstrm' to both compress and
decompress functions. It's up to zcomp to ignore passed zstrm or do
something sane; not up to zram_drv.
