Subject: [PATCH] mm/zsmalloc: strength reduce zspage_size calculation

Replace the repeated multiplication in the main loop
body calculation of zspage_size with an equivalent
(and cheaper) addition operation.

Thanks for the patch! However, it's used only zs_create_pool which
is really cold path so I don't feel it would improve for real practice.

Thanks.
