Probably arrived last night to my another mailbox, so haven't
seen this one.


The comment is wrong. page ->inuse represents the number of objects
in use in this zspage; not "the pages number".

usage example:

zspage_full() : page->inuse == page->objects
obj_malloc() : first_page->inuse++
obj_free() : first_page->inuse--
