zram: use u32 for entry ac_time tracking

Browse source

We can reduce sizeof(zram_table_entry) on 64-bit systems by converting
flags and ac_time to u32.  Entry flags fit into u32, and for ac_time u32
gives us over a century of entry lifespan (approx 136 years) which is
plenty (zram uses system boot time (seconds)).

In struct zram_table_entry we use bytes aliasing, because bit-wait API
(for slot lock) requires a whole unsigned long word.
