+               struct size_class *prev_class = NULL;

Use the fact it's unset below, so set it to NULL here

simplify more, we can check if this is the first iteration by looking
at prev_class, e.g.:

                if (prev_class) {
                       if (can_merge(prev_class, size, pages_per_zspage)) {
                               pool->size_class[i] = prev_class;
