Staging: zram: Fix access of NULL pointer
commit 46a51c80216cb891f271ad021f59009f34677499 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().
