Subject: [RFC PATCH] zsmalloc: make common caches global

Currently, zsmalloc creates kmem_cache of handles and zspages
for each pool, which may be suboptimal from the memory usage
point of view (extra internal fragmentation per pool).  Systems
that create multiple zsmalloc pools may benefit from shared
common zsmalloc caches.

Make handles and zspages kmem caches global.
