lz4 uses LZ4_DISTANCE_MAX to record history preservation. When
using rolling decompression, a block with a higher compression
ratio will cause a larger memory allocation (up to 64k). It may
cause a large resource burden in extreme cases on devices with
small memory and a large number of concurrent IOs. So appropriately
reducing this value can improve performance.

Decreasing this value will reduce the compression ratio (except
when input_size <LZ4_DISTANCE_MAX). But considering that erofs
currently only supports 4k output, reducing this value will not
significantly reduce the compression benefits.

The maximum value of LZ4_DISTANCE_MAX defined by lz4 is 64k, and
we can only reduce this value. For the old kernel, it just can't
reduce the memory allocation during rolling decompression without
affecting the decompression result.

It missed to add comments, otherwise it looks good to me.
