Subject: zsmalloc: expand class bit
From: Minchan Kim <minchan@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 85d492f28d056c40629fc25d79f54da618a29dc4 upstream.
Now 64K page system, zsamlloc has 257 classes so 8 class bit is not
enough. With that, it corrupts the system when zsmalloc stores
65536byte data(ie, index number 256) so that this patch increases class
bit for simple fix for stable backport. We should clean up this mess
soon.
