There is no point in overriding the size class below. It causes fatal
corruption on the next chunk on the 3264-bytes size class, which is the
last size class that is not huge.

For example, if the requested size was exactly 3264 bytes, current
zsmalloc allocates and returns a chunk from the size class of 3264
bytes, not 4096. User access to this chunk may overwrite head of the
next adjacent chunk.

Here is the panic log captured when freelist was corrupted due to this:
