[PATCH v2 00/10] Introduce new async/sync compression APIs

[Joonsoo Kim]

This patchset introduces new compression APIs. This work is started
to support crypto compression in zram [1]. I will restart that work
after this patchset is mereged. Major point of new APIs is that it is
now stateless. Instead of legacy compression API, tfm objects doesn't
embedded any context so we can de/compress concurrently with one tfm
object. Instead, this de/compression context is coupled with the request.
This architecture change will make APIs more flexible and we can naturally
use asynchronous APIs as front-end of synchronous compression algorithm.

Moreover, thanks to this change, we can decompress without context buffer
if algorithm supports it. In this case, we can achieve maximum parallelism
without memory overhead caused by context buffer.

Please let know if there is a problem.

Thanks.
