Lzo is a much faster compression algorithm than gzib, so would allow
more users to enable transparent compression, and some users can
choose from compression ratio and compression speed.

Usage:

# mount -t btrfs -o compress[=<zlib,lzo>] dev /mnt
or
# mount -t btrfs -o compress-force[=<zlib,lzo>] dev /mnt

"-o compress" without argument is still allowed for compatability.

Performance:

The test copied a linux source tarball (~400M) from an ext4 partition
to the btrfs partition, and then extracted the tarball.

(time in second)
           lzo        zlib        nocompress
copy:      10.6       21.7        14.9
extract:   70.1       94.4        66.6

(data size in MB)
           lzo        zlib        nocompress
copy:      185.87     108.69      394.49
extract:   193.80     132.36      381.21

Other:

The defrag ioctl is also updated, so one can choose lzo or zlib when
turning on compression in defrag operation.

TODO:

- Update btrfs-progs accordingly.
