[PATCH] zram: do not waste zram_table_entry flags bits

[Sergey Senozhatsky]

zram_table_entry::flags stores object size in the lower bits and
zram pageflags in the upper bits. However, for some reason, we
use 24 lower bits, while maximum zram object size is PAGE_SIZE,
which requires PAGE_SHIFT bits (up to 16 on arm64). This wastes
24 - PAGE_SHIFT bits that we can use for additional zram pageflags
instead.
