yeah, sorry. nevermind.


So, guys, how about doing it differently, in less lines of code,
hopefully. Don't move reset_store()'s work to zram_reset_device().
Instead, move

	set_capacity(zram->disk, 0);
	revalidate_disk(zram->disk);

out from zram_reset_device() to reset_store(). this two function are
executed only when called from reset_store() anyway. this also will let
us drop `bool reset capacity' param from zram_reset_device().


so we will do in reset_store()

	mutex_lock(bdev->bd_mutex);

	fsync_bdev(bdev);
	zram_reset_device(zram);
	set_capacity(zram->disk, 0);

	mutex_unlock(&bdev->bd_mutex);

	revalidate_disk(zram->disk);
	bdput(bdev);



and change zram_reset_device(zram, false) call to simply zram_reset_device(zram)
in __exit zram_exit(void).
