Remove ZRAM's enforced "huge object" value and use zsmalloc huge-class watermark instead, which makes more sense. TEST - I used a 1G zram device, LZO compression back-end, original data set size was 444MB. Looking at zsmalloc classes stats the test ended up to be pretty fair.

This results in lower memory consumption: - zsmalloc now uses 47424 physical pages, which is less than 48787 pages zsmalloc used before. - objects that we store in class-3264 share zspages. That's why overall the number of pages that both class-4096 and class-3264 consumed went down from 10924 to 9564.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
