Subject: [PATCH v4 3/3] zram: Shrink zram_table_entry::flags.

The zram_table_entry::flags member is of type long and uses 8 bytes on a
64bit architecture. With a PAGE_SIZE of 256KiB we have PAGE_SHIFT of 18
which in turn leads to __NR_ZRAM_PAGEFLAGS = 27. This still fits in an
ordinary integer.
By reducing the size of `flags' to four bytes, the size of the struct
goes back to 16 bytes. The padding between the lock and ac_time (if
enabled) is also gone.

Make zram_table_entry::flags an unsigned int and update the build test
to reflect the change.
