When a mempool is created with a large number of maximum-size blocks,
the logic for initializing max_inline_level (i.e. when to union the
bitmask with the pointer and when to use the pointer directly) was
wrong. The default state was "zero", which implies that level 0
should be inlined, but that's wrong with >32 base blocks.
Additionally, the type was unsigned, making the "level zero is a
pointer" situation impossible to represent.
