It removes unneeded call of zram_get_element() and unneeded variable 'value'.
zram_get_element() == zram_get_handle(), they both access the same field of the same struct zram_table_entry,
no need to read it 2nd time.
'value' variable is not required, 'handle' can be used instead.

I hope this explain why element/handle union should be removed: it confuses reviewers.
