Hmmm,
We may want to do more here. Basically, we probably need to re-confirm
after read_from_bdev() that the entry at index still has ZRAM_WB set
and, if so, that it points to the same blk_idx. IOW, check that it has
not been free-ed and re-used under us.

Minchan, what do you think? Is that scenario possible?
