Subject: zsmalloc: introduce zs_can_compact() function
This function checks if class compaction will free any pages. Rephrasing
-- do we have enough unused objects to form at least one ZS_EMPTY page and
free it. It aborts compaction if class compaction will not result in any
(further) savings.
EXAMPLE (this debug output is not part of this patch set):
-- class size
-- number of allocated objects
-- number of used objects
-- max objects per zspage
-- pages per zspage
-- estimated number of pages that will be freed
[..]

class-384 objs:736 inuse:709 maxobj-per-zspage:32 pages-per-zspage:3 zspages-to-free:0
... class-384 compaction is useless. break
[..]
Every "compaction is useless" indicates that we saved CPU cycles.
class-512 has
544 object allocated
540 objects used
8 objects per-page
Even if we have a ALMOST_EMPTY zspage, we still don't have enough room to
migrate all of its objects and free this zspage; so compaction will not
make a lot of sense, it's better to just leave it as is.
