[PATCH] zram: fix possible use after free in zcomp_create()

From: Luis Henriques
Date: Mon Sep 07 2015 - 06:34:07 EST


zcomp_create() verifies the success of zcomp_strm_{multi,siggle}_create()
through comp->stream, which can potentially be pointing to memory that was
freed if these functions returned an error.

Fixes: beca3ec71fe5 ("zram: add multi stream functionality")
