3.16.72-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Anand Jain <anand.jain@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 272e5326c7837697882ce3162029ba893059b616 upstream.

The compression property resets to NULL, instead of the old value if we
fail to set the new compression parameter.

$ btrfs prop get /btrfs compression
compression=lzo
$ btrfs prop set /btrfs compression zli
ERROR: failed to set compression for /btrfs: Invalid argument
$ btrfs prop get /btrfs compression

This is because the compression property ->validate() is successful for
'zli' as the strncmp() used the length passed from the userspace.

Fix it by using the expected string length in strncmp().

Fixes: 63541927c8d1 ("Btrfs: add support for inode properties")
Fixes: 5c1aab1dd544 ("btrfs: Add zstd support")
