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.
Since b09ab054b6 ("zram: support BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES"), zram has used
QUEUE_FLAG_STABLE_WRITES to prevent buffer change between 1st and 2nd
memory allocations. Since we remove second trial memory allocation logic,
we could remove the STABLE_WRITES flag because there is no change buffer
to be modified under us.

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.
