[PATCH v2] zram: remove double compression logic

[Alexey Romanov]

The 2nd trial allocation under per-cpu presumption has been
used to prevent regression of allocation failure. However, it
makes trouble for maintenance without significant benefit.
The slowpath branch is executed extremely rarely: getting
there is problematic. Therefore, we delete this branch.
