ie. personal, company or original source copyright statements. Add the
SPDX header.

431e98226c btrfs: move some zstd work data from stack to workspace
* ZSTD_inBuffer in_buf
* ZSTD_outBuffer out_buf

are used in all functions to pass the compression parameters and the
local variables consume some space. We can move them to the workspace
and reduce the stack consumption:

zstd.c:zstd_decompress                        -24 (136 -> 112)
zstd.c:zstd_decompress_bio                    -24 (144 -> 120)
zstd.c:zstd_compress_pages                    -24 (264 -> 240)

f51d2b5912 btrfs: allow to set compression level for zlib
Preliminary support for setting compression level for zlib, the
following works:

$ mount -o compess=zlib                 # default
$ mount -o compess=zlib0                # same
$ mount -o compess=zlib9                # level 9, slower sync, less data
$ mount -o compess=zlib1                # level 1, faster sync, more data
$ mount -o remount,compress=zlib3	# level set by remount

The compress-force works the same as compress'.  The level is visible in
the same format in /proc/mounts. Level set via file property does not
work yet.

Required patch: "btrfs: prepare for extensions in compression options"

5c1aab1dd5 btrfs: Add zstd support
Add zstd compression and decompression support to BtrFS. zstd at its
fastest level compresses almost as well as zlib, while offering much
faster compression and decompression, approaching lzo speeds.

I benchmarked btrfs with zstd compression against no compression, lzo
compression, and zlib compression. I benchmarked two scenarios. Copying
a set of files to btrfs, and then reading the files. Copying a tarball
to btrfs, extracting it to btrfs, and then reading the extracted files.
After every operation, I call `sync` and include the sync time.
Between every pair of operations I unmount and remount the filesystem
to avoid caching. The benchmark files can be found in the upstream
zstd source repository under
`contrib/linux-kernel/{btrfs-benchmark.sh,btrfs-extract-benchmark.sh}`
[1] [2].

I ran the benchmarks on a Ubuntu 14.04 VM with 2 cores and 4 GiB of RAM.
The VM is running on a MacBook Pro with a 3.1 GHz Intel Core i7 processor,
16 GB of RAM, and a SSD.

The first compression benchmark is copying 10 copies of the unzipped
Silesia corpus [3] into a BtrFS filesystem mounted with
`-o compress-force=Method`. The decompression benchmark times how long
it takes to `tar` all 10 copies into `/dev/null`. The compression ratio is
measured by comparing the output of `df` and `du`. See the benchmark file
[1] for details. I benchmarked multiple zstd compression levels, although
the patch uses zstd level 1.

| Method  | Ratio | Compression MB/s | Decompression speed |
|---------|-------|------------------|---------------------|
| None    |  0.99 |              504 |                 686 |
| lzo     |  1.66 |              398 |                 442 |
| zlib    |  2.58 |               65 |                 241 |
| zstd 1  |  2.57 |              260 |                 383 |
| zstd 3  |  2.71 |              174 |                 408 |
| zstd 6  |  2.87 |               70 |                 398 |
| zstd 9  |  2.92 |               43 |                 406 |
| zstd 12 |  2.93 |               21 |                 408 |
| zstd 15 |  3.01 |               11 |                 354 |

The next benchmark first copies `linux-4.11.6.tar` [4] to btrfs. Then it
measures the compression ratio, extracts the tar, and deletes the tar.
Then it measures the compression ratio again, and `tar`s the extracted
files into `/dev/null`. See the benchmark file [2] for details.

| Method | Tar Ratio | Extract Ratio | Copy (s) | Extract (s)| Read (s) |
|--------|-----------|---------------|----------|------------|----------|
| None   |      0.97 |          0.78 |    0.981 |      5.501 |    8.807 |
| lzo    |      2.06 |          1.38 |    1.631 |      8.458 |    8.585 |
| zlib   |      3.40 |          1.86 |    7.750 |     21.544 |   11.744 |
| zstd 1 |      3.57 |          1.85 |    2.579 |     11.479 |    9.389 |
