Subject: [PATCH 3/3] zsmalloc: expand class bit

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.
