Is everyone OK with this now?

The name is inconsistent with the rest of zsmalloc and with preferred
kernel naming conventions.  Should be "zs_get_pool_index".

The typecast is unneeded and undesirable (it defeats typechecking).

This is not good.  If the kernel creates and then destroys a pool 10000
times, zs_pool_index==10000 and we overrun the buffer.  Could use
kasprintf() in here to fix this.

zs_pool_index isn't a very good name - it doesn't index anything. 
zs_pool_id would be better.

Sigh.  The debugfs interface does suck.  Doesn't matter much.
