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,
-- estimated number of pages that will be freed

class-1104: Compaction is useless
[..]
Every "Compaction is useless" indicates that we saved some CPU cycles.
class-1104 has
605 object allocated
599 objects used
11 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 here, it's better to just leave it as is.
