It makes the statistic confused when counting pages_store in during writeback.
pages_store should just reflect the swapped pages on ZRAM, while bd_writes be
responsible for writeback things.

Yeah, I think we don't need it here.

Minchan, what do you think?

What pages_stored currently represents is orig_data_size from mm_stat

 ================ =============================================================
 orig_data_size   uncompressed size of data stored in this disk.
                  Unit: bytes

Thus, if we don't increase it after zram_free_page, it loses what's
the original data size which would be important to calculate
compression ratio along with compr_data_size.

zram_free_page??  What the commit try to fix is pages_stored being
increased incorrectly in writeback_store, which will lead to wrong
statistic on orig size of ZRAM.

OK, if I understand right, I think what you mean is the page count
corresponding to SWAP should be still available even if it is written
back to the backing dev.So we need to increase page_stored again after
zram_free_page free it.
