Don Bailey noticed that our page zeroing for compression at end-io time
isn't complete. This reworks a patch from Linus to push the zeroing
into the zlib and lzo specific functions instead of trying to handle the
corners inside btrfs_decompress_buf2page

Big patch, but all it does is add statics to functions which
are in fact static, then remove the associated dead-code fallout.
removed functions:
btrfs_iref_to_path()
__btrfs_lookup_delayed_deletion_item()
__btrfs_search_delayed_insertion_item()
__btrfs_search_delayed_deletion_item()
find_eb_for_page()
btrfs_find_block_group()
range_straddles_pages()
extent_range_uptodate()
btrfs_file_extent_length()
btrfs_scrub_cancel_devid()
btrfs_start_transaction_lflush()
btrfs_print_tree() is left because it is used for debugging.
btrfs_start_transaction_lflush() and btrfs_reada_detach() are
left for symmetry.
ulist.c functions are left, another patch will take care of those.

Lzo is a much faster compression algorithm than gzib, so would allow
more users to enable transparent compression, and some users can
choose from compression ratio and speed for different applications
Usage:
# mount -t btrfs -o compress[=<zlib,lzo>] dev /mnt
or
# mount -t btrfs -o compress-force[=<zlib,lzo>] dev /mnt
"-o compress" without argument is still allowed for compatability.
Compatibility:
If we mount a filesystem with lzo compression, it will not be able be
mounted in old kernels. One reason is, otherwise btrfs will directly
dump compressed data, which sits in inline extent, to user.
Performance:
The test copied a linux source tarball (~400M) from an ext4 partition
to the btrfs partition, and then extracted it.

Make the code aware of compression type, instead of always assuming
zlib compression.
Also make the zlib workspace function as common code for all
compression types.

This is a large change for adding compression on reading and writing,
both for inline and regular extents. It does some fairly large
surgery to the writeback paths.
Compression is off by default and enabled by mount -o compress. Even
when the -o compress mount option is not used, it is possible to read
compressed extents off the disk.
If compression for a given set of pages fails to make them smaller, the
file is flagged to avoid future compression attempts later.
* While finding delalloc extents, the pages are locked before being sent down
to the delalloc handler. This allows the delalloc handler to do complex things
such as cleaning the pages, marking them writeback and starting IO on their
behalf.
* Inline extents are inserted at delalloc time now. This allows us to compress
the data before inserting the inline extent, and it allows us to insert
an inline extent that spans multiple pages.
* All of the in-memory extent representations (extent_map.c, ordered-data.c etc)
are changed to record both an in-memory size and an on disk size, as well
as a flag for compression.
From a disk format point of view, the extent pointers in the file are changed
to record the on disk size of a given extent and some encoding flags.
Space in the disk format is allocated for compression encoding, as well
as encryption and a generic 'other' field. Neither the encryption or the
'other' field are currently used.
In order to limit the amount of data read for a single random read in the
file, the size of a compressed extent is limited to 128k. This is a
software only limit, the disk format supports u64 sized compressed extents.
In order to limit the ram consumed while processing extents, the uncompressed
size of a compressed extent is limited to 256k. This is a software only limit
and will be subject to tuning later.
Checksumming is still done on compressed extents, and it is done on the
uncompressed version of the data. This way additional encodings can be
layered on without having to figure out which encoding to checksum.
Compression happens at delalloc time, which is basically singled threaded because
it is usually done by a single pdflush thread. This makes it tricky to
spread the compression load across all the cpus on the box. We'll have to
look at parallel pdflush walks of dirty inodes at a later time.
Decompression is hooked into readpages and it does spread across CPUs nicely.
