Liu Shixin c7ee791e53 zram: fix NULL pointer in comp_algorithm_show()
commit f364cdeb38938f9d03061682b8ff3779dd1730e5 upstream.

LTP reported a NULL pointer dereference as followed:

The zram->comp_algs[ZRAM_PRIMARY_COMP] can be NULL in zram_add() if
comp_algorithm_set() has not been called.  User can access the zram device
by sysfs after device_add_disk(), so there is a time window to trigger the
NULL pointer dereference.  Move it ahead device_add_disk() to make sure
when user can access the zram device, it is ready.  comp_algorithm_set()
is protected by zram->init_lock in other places and no such problem.

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.
