Could this be improved by making the CHUNK_SIZE bigger depending on
the debug options?

Alternatively, how about using a bit_spin_lock instead of raw_spin_lock?
That would guarantee a fixed size for the lock and make z3fold_header
always 24 bytes (on 32-bit architectures) or 40 bytes
(on 64-bit architectures). You could even play some tricks with the
first_num field to make it fit in the same word as the lock and make the
structure fit into 32 bytes if you care about that.
