zbud_alloc() incorrectly verifies the size of allocation limit. It
should deny the allocation request greater than (PAGE_SIZE -
ZHDR_SIZE_ALIGNED - CHUNK_SIZE), not (PAGE_SIZE - ZHDR_SIZE_ALIGNED)
which has no remaining spaces for its buddy. There is no point in
spending the entire zbud page storing only a single page, since we don't
have any benefits.
