Those things are not connected, absolutely. zram_meta_alloc() can fail
even on un-initialized device. In any case disksize_store() does not end
up changing the state of the device and reports the error back, so I don't
see any real value in this change. Seems that we come across this change
something like once a year (this patch is not the first).

I believe it has to stay the way it is, see https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/27/674
