[PATCH pstore-next v2 3/4] pstore: Refactor compression initialization

[Kees Cook]

This refactors compression initialization slightly to better handle
getting potentially called twice (via early pstore_register() calls
and later pstore_init()) and improves the comments and reporting to be
more verbose.
