zsmalloc: introduce zs_can_compact() function

This function checks if class compaction will free any pages.
Rephrasing -- do we have enough unused objects to form at least one
ZS_EMPTY page and free it.  It aborts compaction if class compaction
will not result in any (further) savings.

EXAMPLE (this debug output is not part of this patch set):

 - class size
 - number of allocated objects
 - number of used objects
 - max objects per zspage
 - pages per zspage
 - estimated number of pages that will be freed

Every "compaction is useless" indicates that we saved CPU cycles.

class-512 has
	544	object allocated
	540	objects used
	8	objects per-page

Even if we have a ALMOST_EMPTY zspage, we still don't have enough room to
migrate all of its objects and free this zspage; so compaction will not
make a lot of sense, it's better to just leave it as is.
