Subject: [RFC 1/6] zsmalloc: expand size class to support sizeof(unsigned long)

For compaction of zsmalloc, we need to decouple handle and
obj position binding. For that, we need another memory to
keep handle and I want to reuse existing functions of zsmalloc
to implement indirect layer.

For that, we need to support new size class(ie, sizeof(unsigned
long)) so this patch does it.
