Hi folks,

When we provides support for different algorithms or big pcluster, it'd
be necessary to record some configuration in the per-fs basis.

For example, when big pcluster feature for lz4 is enabled, we need to
know the largest pclustersize in the whole fs instance to adjust per-CPU
buffers in advance, which will be used to handle in-place decompression
failure for inplace IO then. And we also need to record global arguments
(e.g. dict_size) for the upcoming LZMA algorithm support.

Therefore, this patchset introduces a new INCOMPAT feature called
COMPR_CFGS, which provides an available algorithm bitmap in the sb
and a variable array list to store corresponding arguments for each
available algorithms.

Since such a INCOMPAT sb feature will be introduced, it'd be better to
reuse such bit for BIGPCLUSTER feature as well since BIGPCLUSTER feature
depends on COMPR_CFGS and will be released together with COMPR_CFGS.

If COMPR_CFGS is disabled, the field of available algorithm bitmap would
become a lz4_max_distance (which is now reserved as 0), and max_distance
can be safely ignored for old kernels since 64k lz4 dictionary is always
enough even new images could reduce the sliding window.

Thanks,
Gao Xiang
