If we have two enums, then we need more lines

enum fullness {
ZS_INUSE_RATIO_0
...
ZS_INUSE_RATIO_100
}

enum stats {
INUSE_RATIO_0
...
INUSE_RATIO_100

// the rest of stats
}

and then we use int:4 fullness value to access stats.

For per inuse ratio zs_stats_size_show() we need to access stats
individually:

inuse10, inuse20, inuse30, ... inuse99
