Not every object can be share its zspage with other objects, e.g. when
the object is as big as zspage or nearly as big a zspage. For such
objects zsmalloc has a so called huge class - every object which belongs
to huge class consumes the entire zspage (which consists of a physical
page). On x86_64, PAGE_SHIFT 12 box, the first non-huge class size is
3264, so starting down from size 3264, objects can share page(-s) and thus
minimize memory wastage.
ZRAM, however, has its own statically defined watermark for huge objects -
"3 * PAGE_SIZE / 4 = 3072", and forcibly stores every object larger than
this watermark (3072) as a PAGE_SIZE object, in other words, to a huge
class, while zsmalloc can keep some of those objects in non-huge classes.
This results in increased memory consumption.
zsmalloc knows better if the object is huge or not. Introduce
zs_huge_class_size() function which tells if the given object can be
stored in one of non-huge classes or not. This will let us to drop ZRAM's
huge object watermark and fully rely on zsmalloc when we decide if the
object is huge.
