I'm not an expert on sysfs and block so it's hard to understand
when we could see NULL bdev in reset handler.
I hope others could answer it.
Another thing, when I review the code, I found it has a bug.
reset_store doesn't put refcount by getting one by bdget_disk.
It should be fixed, I think.

Is it really necessary to check zram->disk and zram->queue in this function?
As I see code roughly, it seems to be not necessary but need double check.
If so, please remove the check code.
