I used a bit different script. no `buffer_compress_percentage' option,
because it provide "a mix of random data and zeroes"
buffer_compress_percentage=int
If this is set, then fio will attempt to provide IO buffer content
(on WRITEs) that compress to the specified level. Fio does this by
providing a mix of random data and zeroes
and I also used scramble_buffers=0. but default scramble_buffers is
true, so
scramble_buffers=bool
If refill_buffers is too costly and the target is using data
deduplication, then setting this option will slightly modify the IO
buffer contents to defeat normal de-dupe attempts. This is not
enough to defeat more clever block compression attempts, but it will
stop naive dedupe of blocks. Default: true.
hm, but I guess it's not enough; fio probably will have different
data (well, only if we didn't ask it to zero-fill the buffers) for
different tests, causing different zram->zsmalloc behaviour. need
to check it.

sure. the results are:
- seq-read
- rand-read
- seq-write
- rand-write (READ + WRITE)
- mixed-seq
- mixed-rand (READ + WRITE)
