so you don't want to account failed fast-path writes in failed_writes?
it sort of kind of fits, to some extent. re-compression is, basically,
a new write operation -- allocate handle, map the page again, compress,
etc., etc. so in a sense failed fast-path write is _almost_ a failed write,
except that we took extra care of handling it and retried the op inside
of zram, not from bio or fs layer.
