Staging: zram: Fix access of NULL pointer
commit 46a51c80 upstream. This patch fixes the bug in reset_store caused by accessing NULL pointer. The bdev gets its value from bdget_disk() which could fail when memory pressure is severe and hence can return NULL because allocation of inode in bdget could fail. Hence, this patch introduces a check for bdev to prevent reference to a NULL pointer in the later part of the code. It also removes unnecessary check of bdev for fsync_bdev().
