I give my acked-by because it's surely fix so there is no reason to
hesitate.

In future, I hope to change it like below.

I think the problem is caused from weired feature "reset" of zram.
Until a while ago, we didn't have hot_add/del feature so we should
use custom reset function but now we have hot/add feature.
So reset is logically same feature(ie, reset = hot_remove+hot_add
but remains same device id).

If we reuse zram_remove/add for reset, finally it calls del_gendisk
which will do part_stat_set_all for us so we didn't have this kinds
of problems.

It needs more churns and some tweaks of zram_[remove|add] but
it's more clean and consistent between reset and hot_remove.

Just my two cents.
