[PATCH] zram: remove unreachable kernel_read_file_from_path() return check

From: Sergey Senozhatsky

Date: Tue Sep 01 2026 - 01:13:50 EST


Sashiko reported that:
kernel_read_file_from_path() returns negative error for zero-sized
files, so we cannot have "sz == 0" return, remove it and use a
generic error message instead.
