squashfs: add the mount parameter theads=<single|multi|percpu>

Patch series 'squashfs: Add the mount parameter "threads="'.

Currently, Squashfs supports multiple decompressor parallel modes.
However, this mode can be configured only during kernel building and does
not support flexible selection during runtime.

In the current patch set, the mount parameter "threads=" is added to allow
users to select the parallel decompressor mode and configure the number of
decompressors when mounting a file system.

"threads=<single|multi|percpu|1|2|3|...>"
The upper limit is num_online_cpus() * 2.


This patch (of 2):

Squashfs supports three decompression concurrency modes:
Single-thread mode: concurrent reads are blocked and the memory
overhead is small.
Multi-thread mode/percpu mode: reduces concurrent read blocking but
increases memory overhead.

The corresponding schema must be fixed at compile time. During mounting,
the concurrent decompression mode cannot be adjusted based on file read
blocking.

The mount parameter theads=<single|multi|percpu> is added to select
the concurrent decompression mode of a single SquashFS file system
image.

squashfs: migrate from ll_rw_block usage to BIO

ll_rw_block() function has been deprecated in favor of BIO which appears
to come with large performance improvements.

This patch decreases boot time by close to 40% when using squashfs for
the root file-system. This is observed at least in the context of
starting an Android VM on Chrome OS using crosvm. The patch was tested
on 4.19 as well as master.

This patch is largely based on Adrien Schildknecht's patch that was
originally sent as https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/9/22/814 though with some
significant changes and simplifications while also taking Phillip
Lougher's feedback into account, around preserving support for
FILE_CACHE in particular.

Squashfs: Generalise paging handling in the decompressors

Further generalise the decompressors by adding a page handler
abstraction. This adds helpers to allow the decompressors
to access and process the output buffers in an implementation
independant manner.

This allows different types of output buffer to be passed
to the decompressors, with the implementation specific
aspects handled at decompression time, but without the
knowledge being held in the decompressor wrapper code.

This will allow the decompressors to handle Squashfs
cache buffers, and page cache pages.

This patch adds the abstraction and an implementation for
the caches.

Squashfs: Refactor decompressor interface and code

The decompressor interface and code was written from
the point of view of single-threaded operation. In doing
so it mixed a lot of single-threaded implementation specific
aspects into the decompressor code and elsewhere which makes it
difficult to seamlessly support multiple different decompressor
implementations.

This patch does the following:

1. It removes compressor_options parsing from the decompressor
init() function. This allows the decompressor init() function
to be dynamically called to instantiate multiple decompressors,
without the compressor options needing to be read and parsed each
time.

2. It moves threading and all sleeping operations out of the
decompressors. In doing so, it makes the decompressors
non-blocking wrappers which only deal with interfacing with
the decompressor implementation.

3. It splits decompressor.[ch] into decompressor generic functions
in decompressor.[ch], and moves the single threaded
decompressor implementation into decompressor_single.c.

The result of this patch is Squashfs should now be able to
support multiple decompressors by adding new decompressor_xxx.c
files with specialised implementations of the functions in
decompressor_single.c
