Ming Lei 8c54499a59 zram: don't fail to remove zram during unloading module
When the zram module is being unloaded, no one should be using the
zram disks. However even while being unloaded the zram module's
sysfs attributes might be poked at to re-configure zram devices.
This is expected, and kernfs ensures that these operations complete
before device_del() completes.

But reset_store() may set ->claim which will fail zram_remove(), when
this happens, zram_reset_device() is bypassed, and zram->comp can't
be destroyed, so the warning of 'Error: Removing state 63 which has
instances left.' is triggered during unloading module, together with
memory leak and sort of thing.

Fixes the issue by not failing zram_remove() if ->claim is set, and
we actually need to do nothing in case that zram_reset() is running
since del_gendisk() will wait until zram_reset() is done.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
