zsmalloc: reduce size_class memory usage

Each `struct size_class' contains `struct zs_size_stat': an array of
NR_ZS_STAT_TYPE `unsigned long'.  For zsmalloc built with no
CONFIG_ZSMALLOC_STAT this results in a waste of `2 * sizeof(unsigned
long)' per-class.

The patch removes unneeded `struct zs_size_stat' members by redefining
NR_ZS_STAT_TYPE (max stat idx in array).

Since both NR_ZS_STAT_TYPE and zs_stat_type are compile time constants,
GCC can eliminate zs_stat_inc()/zs_stat_dec() calls that use zs_stat_type
larger than NR_ZS_STAT_TYPE: CLASS_ALMOST_EMPTY and CLASS_ALMOST_FULL at
the moment.

./scripts/bloat-o-meter mm/zsmalloc.o.old mm/zsmalloc.o.new
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/3 up/down: 0/-39 (-39)
function                                     old     new   delta
fix_fullness_group                            97      94      -3
insert_zspage                                100      86     -14
remove_zspage                                141     119     -22

To summarize:
a) each class now uses less memory
b) we avoid a number of dec/inc stats (a minor optimization,
   but still).

The gain will increase once we introduce additional stats.

A simple IO test.
