Nitpick, the name here seems not directly to me.
But I don't have a better idea yet.
Maybe first_buddy_size/first_buddy_nrchunks or buddy0_size.

Pages in zbud pool should also be freed here? or if they are freed
before call this function some check may be needed.
But there isn't a problem currently since no actual user.
