[PATCHv2] lz4: fix system halted at boot kernel x86_64 compressed lz4

Decompression process ends with an error when loading 64bit lz4 kernel:

Decoding failed
 
    -- System halted

This condition is not needed for 64bit kernel ( from the last commit d5e7caf )

if( ... ||
    (op + COPYLENGTH) > oend)
    goto _output_error

macro LZ4_SECURE_COPY() tests op and does not copy any data
when op exceeds the value, decompression process is continued.

added by analogy to lz4_uncompress_unknownoutputsize(...)
