[PATCH v2 1/2] mm/zbud: reuse unbuddied[0] as buddied in zbud_pool

From: Miaohe Lin
Date: Tue Jun 08 2021 - 07:46:09 EST


Since commit 9d8c5b5284e4 ("mm: zbud: fix condition check on allocation
size"), zbud_pool.unbuddied[0] is always unused. We can reuse it as buddied
field to save some possible memory.
