The normal convention is to only include headers from other headers if that is required by the contents of the header itself.
Following the common conventions, it's better to include linux/err.h in both zram_drv.c and zcomp.c, but not in zram_drv.h. I didn't do that in my patch, because I only got a build error in one of the two files.
