Subject: [PATCH 1/1] zram: better utilization of zram swap space

If the length of the compressed page is greater than 75% of the PAGE_SIZE,
then the page is stored uncompressed in zram space. Zram space utilization
is improved if the threshold is 80%(5 compressed pages can be stored in
4 pages).

If the compressed length is greater than 3068 and less than 3261, pages
still can be stored in compressed form in zs_malloc class 3264.
Currently these compressed pages belong to 4096 zs malloc class.

Tested on ARM:
Before Patch:

class  size  obj_allocated   obj_used pages_used
  190  3072           3820       3819       2865
  202  3264             65         63         52
  254  4096          11791      11791      11791

 Total               65604      64616      29504

After Patch:

class  size  obj_allocated   obj_used pages_used
  190  3072           4244       4243       3183
  202  3264           1500       1499       1200
  254  4096           6306       6306       6306

 Total               65983      64896      26628
