zsmalloc: introduce zs_huge_class_size()

Patch series "zsmalloc/zram: drop zram's max_zpage_size", v3.

ZRAM's max_zpage_size is a bad thing.  It forces zsmalloc to store
normal objects as huge ones, which results in bigger zsmalloc memory
usage.  Drop it and use actual zsmalloc huge-class value when decide if
the object is huge or not.

This patch (of 2):

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, namely "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.
