When I debug with the zsmalloc module built in kernel.
After system boots up, I did not see:
/sys/kernel/debug/zsmalloc dir.

Although the reason for this is that I made a mistake. I
forgot to add debugfs entry in /etc/fstab.
But I think it is suitable to add information for a module load/unload.
Then we can get this by:
dmesg | grep zsmalloc.

Thanks.
