squashfs: add the mount parameter theads=<single|multi|percpu>

Patch series 'squashfs: Add the mount parameter "threads="'.

Currently, Squashfs supports multiple decompressor parallel modes.
However, this mode can be configured only during kernel building and does
not support flexible selection during runtime.

In the current patch set, the mount parameter "threads=" is added to allow
users to select the parallel decompressor mode and configure the number of
decompressors when mounting a file system.

"threads=<single|multi|percpu|1|2|3|...>"
The upper limit is num_online_cpus() * 2.


This patch (of 2):

Squashfs supports three decompression concurrency modes:
Single-thread mode: concurrent reads are blocked and the memory
overhead is small.
Multi-thread mode/percpu mode: reduces concurrent read blocking but
increases memory overhead.

The corresponding schema must be fixed at compile time. During mounting,
the concurrent decompression mode cannot be adjusted based on file read
blocking.

The mount parameter theads=<single|multi|percpu> is added to select
the concurrent decompression mode of a single SquashFS file system
image.

squashfs: Add zstd support

Add zstd compression and decompression support to SquashFS. zstd is a
great fit for SquashFS because it can compress at ratios approaching xz,
while decompressing twice as fast as zlib. For SquashFS in particular,
it can decompress as fast as lzo and lz4. It also has the flexibility
to turn down the compression ratio for faster compression times.

The compression benchmark is run on the file tree from the SquashFS archive
found in ubuntu-16.10-desktop-amd64.iso [1]. It uses `mksquashfs` with the
default block size (128 KB) and and various compression algorithms/levels.
xz and zstd are also benchmarked with 256 KB blocks. The decompression
benchmark times how long it takes to `tar` the file tree into `/dev/null`.
See the benchmark file in the upstream zstd source repository located under
`contrib/linux-kernel/squashfs-benchmark.sh` [2] for details.

I ran the benchmarks on a Ubuntu 14.04 VM with 2 cores and 4 GiB of RAM.
The VM is running on a MacBook Pro with a 3.1 GHz Intel Core i7 processor,
16 GB of RAM, and a SSD.

| Method | Ratio | Compression MB/s | Decompression MB/s |
|----------------|-------|------------------|--------------------|
| gzip | 2.92 | 15 | 128 |
| lzo | 2.64 | 9.5 | 217 |
| lz4 | 2.12 | 94 | 218 |
| xz | 3.43 | 5.5 | 35 |
| xz 256 KB | 3.53 | 5.4 | 40 |
| zstd 1 | 2.71 | 96 | 210 |

mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

- <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

- <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

- page_cache_get() -> get_page();

- page_cache_release() -> put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

Squashfs: Generalise paging handling in the decompressors

Further generalise the decompressors by adding a page handler
abstraction. This adds helpers to allow the decompressors
to access and process the output buffers in an implementation
independant manner.

This allows different types of output buffer to be passed
to the decompressors, with the implementation specific
aspects handled at decompression time, but without the
knowledge being held in the decompressor wrapper code.

This will allow the decompressors to handle Squashfs
cache buffers, and page cache pages.

This patch adds the abstraction and an implementation for
the caches.

Squashfs: Refactor decompressor interface and code

The decompressor interface and code was written from
the point of view of single-threaded operation. In doing
so it mixed a lot of single-threaded implementation specific
aspects into the decompressor code and elsewhere which makes it
difficult to seamlessly support multiple different decompressor
implementations.

This patch does the following:

1. It removes compressor_options parsing from the decompressor
init() function. This allows the decompressor init() function
to be dynamically called to instantiate multiple decompressors,
without the compressor options needing to be read and parsed each
time.

2. It moves threading and all sleeping operations out of the
decompressors. In doing so, it makes the decompressors
non-blocking wrappers which only deal with interfacing with
the decompressor implementation.

3. It splits decompressor.[ch] into decompressor generic functions
in decompressor.[ch], and moves the single threaded
decompressor implementation into decompressor_single.c.

The result of this patch is Squashfs should now be able to
support multiple decompressors by adding new decompressor_xxx.c
files with specialised implementations of the functions in
decompressor_single.c

Extend decompressor framework to handle compression options stored in

at initialisation time to over-ride defaults.

The presence of compression options in the filesystem is indicated by
the COMP_OPT filesystem flag. If present the data is read from the
filesystem and passed to the decompressor init function. The decompressor
init function signature has been extended to take this data.

Also update the init function signature in the glib, lzo and xz
