[GIT PULL] Update LZO compression code for v3.9

[Markus F.X.J. Oberhumer]

Hi Linus,

please pull my "lzo-update" branch from

  git://github.com/markus-oberhumer/linux.git lzo-update

You can also browse the branch at

  https://github.com/markus-oberhumer/linux/compare/lzo-update

The LZO update actually had been approved by akpm for a 3.7 merge and is
available in linux-next since October, but I've only recently learned
that there is no automatic flow from linux-next to linux and I have
to personally send a pull request.

Many thanks,
Markus

                   the LZO 2.02 release from 2005)
