lib: zstd: Backport fix for in-place decompression

Backport the relevant part of upstream commit 5b266196 [0].

This fixes in-place decompression for x86-64 kernel decompression. It
uses a bound of 131072 + (uncompressed_size >> 8), which can be violated
after upstream commit 6a7ede3d [1], as zstd can use part of the output
buffer as temporary storage, and without this patch needs a bound of
~262144.

The fix is for zstd to detect that the input and output buffers overlap,
so that zstd knows it can't use the overlapping portion of the output
buffer as tempoary storage. If the margin is not large enough, this will
ensure that zstd will fail the decompression, rather than overwriting
part of the input data, and causing corruption.

This fix has been landed upstream and is in release v1.5.4. That commit
also adds unit and fuzz tests to verify that the margin we use is
respected, and correct. That means that the fix is well tested upstream.

I have not been able to reproduce the potential bug in x86-64 kernel
decompression locally, nor have I recieved reports of failures to
decompress the kernel. It is possible that compression saves enough
space to make it very hard for the issue to appear.

I've boot tested the zstd compressed kernel on x86-64 and i386 with this
patch, which uses in-place decompression, and sanity tested zstd compression
in btrfs / squashfs to make sure that we don't see any issues, but other
uses of zstd shouldn't be affected, because they don't use in-place
decompression.

Thanks to Vasily Gorbik <gor@linux.ibm.com> for debugging a related issue
on s390, which was triggered by the same commit, but was a bug in how
__decompress() was called [2]. And to Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
for the CC alerting me of the issue.

zstd: import usptream v1.5.2

Updates the kernel's zstd library to v1.5.2, the latest zstd release.
The upstream tag it is updated to is `v1.5.2-kernel`, which contains
several cherry-picked commits on top of the v1.5.2 release which are
required for the kernel update. I will create this tag once the PR is
ready to merge, until then reference the temporary upstream branch
`v1.5.2-kernel-cherrypicks`.

I plan to submit this patch as part of the v6.2 merge window.

I've done basic build testing & testing on x86-64, i386, and aarch64.
I'm merging these patches into my `zstd-next` branch, which is pulled
into `linux-next` for further testing.

I've benchmarked BtrFS with zstd compression on a x86-64 machine, and
saw these results. Decompression speed is a small win across the board.
The lower compression levels 1-4 see both compression speed and
compression ratio wins. The higher compression levels see a small
compression speed loss and about neutral ratio. I expect the lower
compression levels to be used much more heavily than the high
compression levels, so this should be a net win.

Level CTime DTime Ratio
1 -2.95% -1.1% -0.7%

lib: zstd: Upgrade to latest upstream zstd version 1.4.10

Upgrade to the latest upstream zstd version 1.4.10.

This patch is 100% generated from upstream zstd commit 20821a46f412 [0].

This patch is very large because it is transitioning from the custom
kernel zstd to using upstream directly. The new zstd follows upstreams
file structure which is different. Future update patches will be much
smaller because they will only contain the changes from one upstream
zstd release.

As an aid for review I've created a commit [1] that shows the diff
between upstream zstd as-is (which doesn't compile), and the zstd
code imported in this patch. The verion of zstd in this patch is
generated from upstream with changes applied by automation to replace
upstreams libc dependencies, remove unnecessary portability macros,
replace `/**` comments with `/*` comments, and use the kernel's xxhash
instead of bundling it.

The benefits of this patch are as follows:
1. Using upstream directly with automated script to generate kernel
code. This allows us to update the kernel every upstream release, so
the kernel gets the latest bug fixes and performance improvements,
and doesn't get 3 years out of date again. The automation and the
translated code are tested every upstream commit to ensure it
continues to work.
2. Upgrades from a custom zstd based on 1.3.1 to 1.4.10, getting 3 years
of performance improvements and bug fixes. On x86_64 I've measured
15% faster BtrFS and SquashFS decompression+read speeds, 35% faster
kernel decompression, and 30% faster ZRAM decompression+read speeds.
3. Zstd-1.4.10 supports negative compression levels, which allow zstd to
match or subsume lzo's performance.
4. Maintains the same kernel-specific wrapper API, so no callers have to
be modified with zstd version updates.

One concern that was brought up was stack usage. Upstream zstd had
already removed most of its heavy stack usage functions, but I just
removed the last functions that allocate arrays on the stack. I've
measured the high water mark for both compression and decompression
before and after this patch. Decompression is approximately neutral,
using about 1.2KB of stack space. Compression levels up to 3 regressed
from 1.4KB -> 1.6KB, and higher compression levels regressed from 1.5KB
-> 2KB. We've added unit tests upstream to prevent further regression.
I believe that this is a reasonable increase, and if it does end up
causing problems, this commit can be cleanly reverted, because it only
touches zstd.

I chose the bulk update instead of replaying upstream commits because
there have been ~3500 upstream commits since the 1.3.1 release, zstd
wasn't ready to be used in the kernel as-is before a month ago, and not
all upstream zstd commits build. The bulk update preserves bisectablity
because bugs can be bisected to the zstd version update. At that point
the update can be reverted, and we can work with upstream to find and
fix the bug.

Note that upstream zstd release 1.4.10 doesn't exist yet. I have cut a
staging branch at 20821a46f412 [0] and will apply any changes requested
to the staging branch. Once we're ready to merge this update I will cut
a zstd release at the commit we merge, so we have a known zstd release
in the kernel.

The implementation of the kernel API is contained in
zstd_compress_module.c and zstd_decompress_module.c.
