zram: always expose rw_page

Browse source 
Currently zram will adjust its fops to a version which does not contain
rw_page when a backing device has been assigned.  This is done to prevent
upper layers from assuming a synchronous operation when a page may have
been written back.  This forces every operation through bio which has
overhead associated with bio_alloc/frees.

The code can be simplified to always expose an rw_page method and only in
the rare event that a page is written back we instead will return
-EOPNOTSUPP forcing the upper layer to fallback to bio.
