Subject: [PATCH v4 3/8] staging: zcache: handle zcache_[eph|pers]_zpages for zero-filled page

Increment/decrement zcache_[eph|pers]_zpages for zero-filled pages,
the main point of the counters for zpages and pageframes is to be 
able to calculate density == zpages/pageframes. A zero-filled page 
becomes a zpage that "compresses" to zero bytes and, as a result, 
requires zero pageframes for storage. So the zpages counter should 
be increased but the pageframes counter should not.
