I think we can avoid using this new constant in zsmalloc.

The reason for trying to save on MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS is just to gain more
bits for OBJ_INDEX_BITS which would reduce ZS_MIN_ALLOC_SIZE. However,
for all practical values of ZS_MAX_PAGES_PER_ZSPAGE, this min size
would remain 32 bytes.

So, we can unconditionally use MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS = BITS_PER_LONG and
thus OBJ_INDEX_BITS = PAGE_SHIFT.
