Chao Yu 61fc32485d f2fs: use vmalloc instead of kvmalloc in .init_{,de}compress_ctx
[ Upstream commit 70dd07c888451503c3e93b6821e10d1ea1ec9930 ]

.init_{,de}compress_ctx uses kvmalloc() to alloc memory, it will try
to allocate physically continuous page first, it may cause more memory
allocation pressure, let's use vmalloc instead to mitigate it.

[Test]
cd /data/local/tmp
touch file
f2fs_io setflags compression file
f2fs_io getflags file
for i in $(seq 1 10); do sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches;\
time f2fs_io write 512 0 4096 zero osync file; truncate -s 0 file;\
done

[Result]
Before		After		Delta
21.243		21.694		-2.12%

For compression, we recommend to use ioctl to compress file data in
background for workaround.

For decompression, only zstd will be affected.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
