b4a29efc51 erofs: support DEFLATE decompression by using Intel QAT
This patch introduces the use of the Intel QAT to offload EROFS data
decompression, aiming to improve the decompression performance.

A 285MiB dataset is used with the following command to create EROFS
images with different cluster sizes:
     $ mkfs.erofs -zdeflate,level=9 -C{4096,16384,65536,131072,262144}

Fio is used to test the following read patterns:
     $ fio -filename=testfile -bs=4k -rw=read -name=job1
     $ fio -filename=testfile -bs=4k -rw=randread -name=job1
     $ fio -filename=testfile -bs=4k -rw=randread --io_size=14m -name=job1

Here are some performance numbers for reference:

0243cc257f erofs: move {in,out}pages into struct z_erofs_decompress_req
It seems that all compressors need those two values, so just move
them into the common structure.

`struct z_erofs_lz4_decompress_ctx` can be dropped too.

80eb4f6205 erofs: avoid allocating DEFLATE streams before mounting
Currently, each DEFLATE stream takes one 32 KiB permanent internal
window buffer even if there is no running instance which uses DEFLATE
algorithm.

It's unexpected and wasteful on embedded devices with limited resources
and servers with hundreds of CPU cores if DEFLATE is enabled but unused.

d9281660ff erofs: relaxed temporary buffers allocation on readahead
Even with inplace decompression, sometimes very few temporary buffers
may be still needed for a single decompression shot (e.g. 16 pages for
64k sliding window or 4 pages for 16k sliding window).  In low-memory
scenarios, it would be better to try to allocate with GFP_NOWAIT on
readahead first.  That can help reduce the time spent on page allocation
under durative memory pressure.

Here are detailed performance numbers under multi-app launch benchmark
workload [1] on ARM64 Android devices (8-core CPU and 8GB of memory)
running a 5.15 LTS kernel with EROFS of 4k pclusters:

+----------------------------------------------+
|      LZ4       | vanilla | patched |  diff   |
|----------------+---------+---------+---------|
|  Average (ms)  |  3364   |  2684   | -20.21% | [64k sliding window]
|----------------+---------+---------+---------|
|  Average (ms)  |  2079   |  1610   | -22.56% | [16k sliding window]
+----------------------------------------------+

The total size of system images for 4k pclusters is almost unchanged:
(64k sliding window)  9,117,044 KB
(16k sliding window)  9,113,096 KB

Therefore, in addition to switch the sliding window from 64k to 16k,
after applying this patch, it can eventually save 52.14% (3364 -> 1610)
on average with no memory reservation.  That is particularly useful for
embedded devices with limited resources.

ffa09b3bd0 erofs: DEFLATE compression support
Add DEFLATE compression as the 3rd supported algorithm.

DEFLATE is a popular generic-purpose compression algorithm for quite
long time (many advanced formats like gzip, zlib, zip, png are all
based on that) as Apple documentation written "If you require
interoperability with non-Apple devices, use COMPRESSION_ZLIB. [1]".

Due to its popularity, there are several hardware on-market DEFLATE
accelerators, such as (s390) DFLTCC, (Intel) IAA/QAT, (HiSilicon) ZIP
accelerator, etc.  In addition, there are also several high-performence
IP cores and even open-source FPGA approches available for DEFLATE.
Therefore, it's useful to support DEFLATE compression in order to find
a way to utilize these accelerators for asynchronous I/Os and get
benefits from these later.

Besides, it's a good choice to trade off between compression ratios
and performance compared to LZ4 and LZMA.  The DEFLATE core format is
simple as well as easy to understand, therefore the code size of its
decompressor is small even for the bootloader use cases.  The runtime
memory consumption is quite limited too (e.g. 32K + ~7K for each zlib
stream).  As usual, EROFS ourperforms similar approaches too.

Alternatively, DEFLATE could still be used for some specific files
since EROFS supports multiple compression algorithms in one image.
