Sven Schmidt 4e1a33b105 lib: update LZ4 compressor module
Patch series "Update LZ4 compressor module", v7.

This patchset updates the LZ4 compression module to a version based on
LZ4 v1.7.3 allowing to use the fast compression algorithm aka LZ4 fast
which provides an "acceleration" parameter as a tradeoff between high
compression ratio and high compression speed.

We want to use LZ4 fast in order to support compression in lustre and
(mostly, based on that) investigate data reduction techniques in behalf
of storage systems.

Also, it will be useful for other users of LZ4 compression, as with LZ4
fast it is possible to enable applications to use fast and/or high
compression depending on the usecase.  For instance, ZRAM is offering a
LZ4 backend and could benefit from an updated LZ4 in the kernel.

[PATCH 1/5] lib: Update LZ4 compressor module
[PATCH 2/5] lib/decompress_unlz4: Change module to work with new LZ4 module version
[PATCH 3/5] crypto: Change LZ4 modules to work with new LZ4 module version
[PATCH 4/5] fs/pstore: fs/squashfs: Change usage of LZ4 to work with new LZ4 version
[PATCH 5/5] lib/lz4: Remove back-compat wrappers

This patch (of 5):

Update the LZ4 kernel module to LZ4 v1.7.3 by Yann Collet.  The kernel
module is inspired by the previous work by Chanho Min.  The updated LZ4
module will not break existing code since the patchset contains
appropriate changes.

API changes:

New method LZ4_compress_fast which differs from the variant available in
kernel by the new acceleration parameter, allowing to trade compression
ratio for more compression speed and vice versa.

LZ4_decompress_fast is the respective decompression method, featuring a
very fast decoder (multiple GB/s per core), able to reach RAM speed in
multi-core systems.  The decompressor allows to decompress data
compressed with LZ4 fast as well as the LZ4 HC (high compression)
algorithm.

Also the useful functions LZ4_decompress_safe_partial and
LZ4_compress_destsize were added.  The latter reverses the logic by
trying to compress as much data as possible from source to dest while
the former aims to decompress partial blocks of data.

A bunch of streaming functions were also added which allow
compressig/decompressing data in multiple steps (so called "streaming
mode").

The methods lz4_compress and lz4_decompress_unknownoutputsize are now
known as LZ4_compress_default respectivley LZ4_decompress_safe.  The old
methods will be removed since there's no callers left in the code.
