Now that zstd fast compression levels are allowed with `compress=zstd:-N`
mount option, allow also specifying the same using the `compress=zstd-fast:N`
alias.

Upstream zstd deprecated the negative levels in favor of the `zstd-fast`
label anyways so this is actually the preferred way now. And indeed it also
looks more human friendly.

Can we just use some temporary variable to save the return value of btrfs_compress_str2level()?

This also means, if we pass something like "compress=zstd-fast:-9", it will still set the level to the correct -9.

Not some weird double negative, which is good.

But I'm also wondering, should we even allow minus value for "zstd-fast".

ctx->compress_type = BTRFS_COMPRESS_ZSTD;
ctx->compress_level =

Another thing is, if we want to prefer using zstd-fast:9 other than zstd:-9, should we also change our compress handling in btrfs_show_options() to show zstd-fast:9 instead?

Thanks,
