zram: remove BD_CAP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO with writeback feature

If zram supports writeback feature, it's no longer a
BD_CAP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO device beause zram does asynchronous IO operations
for incompressible pages.

Do not pretend to be synchronous IO device.  It makes the system very
sluggish due to waiting for IO completion from upper layers.

Furthermore, it causes a user-after-free problem because swap thinks the
opearion is done when the IO functions returns so it can free the page
(e.g., lock_page_or_retry and goto out_release in do_swap_page) but in
fact, IO is asynchronous so the driver could access a just freed page
afterward.

This patch fixes the problem.
