[PATCH 2/6] Squashfs: enhance parallel I/O

[Phillip Lougher]

From: Minchan Kim <minchan@xxxxxxxxxx>

Now squashfs have used for only one stream buffer for decompression
so it hurts parallel read performance so this patch supports
multiple decompressor to enhance performance parallel I/O.

Four 1G file dd read on KVM machine which has 2 CPU and 4G memory.

dd if=test/test1.dat of=/dev/null &
dd if=test/test2.dat of=/dev/null &
dd if=test/test3.dat of=/dev/null &
dd if=test/test4.dat of=/dev/null &

old : 1m39s -> new : 9s

* From v1
  * Change comp_strm with decomp_strm - Phillip
  * Change/add comments - Phillip
