zram: lockdep spew for zram->init_lock

Hi all,

I've stumbled on the following spew while fuzzing with trinity inside a KVM tools guest running latest -next. It looks like a false positive (we only set size for uninitialized devices, so we can't deadlock on them being in-use) but I'd really like someone to confirm it before I write it down as such.
