Remove ZRAM's enforced "huge object" value and use zsmalloc huge-class
watermark instead, which makes more sense.

TEST
- I used a 1G zram device, LZO compression back-end, original
  data set size was 444MB. Looking at zsmalloc classes stats the
  test ended up to be pretty fair.

As we can see, we reduced the number of objects stored in class-4096,
because a huge number of objects which we previously forcibly stored in
class-4096 now stored in non-huge class-3264.  This results in lower
memory consumption:

- zsmalloc now uses 47424 physical pages, which is less than 48787 pages
  zsmalloc used before.

- objects that we store in class-3264 share zspages.  That's why overall
  the number of pages that both class-4096 and class-3264 consumed went
  down from 10924 to 9564.
