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.
