I think we better switch to different logic here -- specify how many ->huge
classes we want to have, and let zsmalloc to calculate ZS_MAX_PAGES_PER_ZSPAGE.


For example, if we want to have 20 ->huge classes, the 'smallest' (or the last)
non-huge class will have CLASS_SIZE * SIZE_CLASS_DELTA of spare (wasted) space,
so  PAGE_SIZE / (CLASS_SIZE * SIZE_CLASS_DELTA)  will give us the number of pages
we need to form into a zspage to make it the last huge class.


setting ZS_MIN_HUGE_CLASSES_NUM to 32 gives us (on x86_64, PAGE_SHIFT 12) ->huge
class size range of [3648, 4096]. so all objects smaller than 3648 will not waste
an entire zspage (and order-0 page), but will share the page with another objects
of that size.


something like this:
