decompressors: add boot-time XZ support

This implements the API defined in <linux/decompress/generic.h> which is
used for kernel, initramfs, and initrd decompression.  This patch together
with the first patch is enough for XZ-compressed initramfs and initrd;
XZ-compressed kernel will need arch-specific changes.

The buffering requirements described in decompress_unxz.c are stricter
than with gzip, so the relevant changes should be done to the
arch-specific code when adding support for XZ-compressed kernel.
Similarly, the heap size in arch-specific pre-boot code may need to be
increased (30 KiB is enough).

The XZ decompressor needs memmove(), memeq() (memcmp() == 0), and
memzero() (memset(ptr, 0, size)), which aren't available in all
arch-specific pre-boot environments.  I'm including simple versions in
decompress_unxz.c, but a cleaner solution would naturally be nicer.

+ * Important notes about in-place decompression
+ *
+ * At least on x86, the kernel is decompressed in place: the compressed data
+ * is placed to the end of the output buffer, and the decompressor overwrites
+ * most of the compressed data. There must be enough safety margin to
+ * guarantee that the write position is always behind the read position.
+ *
+ * The safety margin for XZ with LZMA2 or BCJ+LZMA2 is calculated below.
+ * Note that the margin with XZ is bigger than with Deflate (gzip)!
+ *
+ * The worst case for in-place decompression is that the beginning of
+ * the file is compressed extremely well, and the rest of the file is
+ * uncompressible. Thus, we must look for worst-case expansion when the
+ * compressor is encoding uncompressible data.
+ *
+ * The structure of the .xz file in case of a compresed kernel is as follows.
+ * Sizes (as bytes) of the fields are in parenthesis.
+ *
+ *    Stream Header (12)
+ *    Block Header:
+ *      Block Header (8-12)
+ *      Compressed Data (N)
+ *      Block Padding (0-3)
+ *      CRC32 (4)
+ *    Index (8-20)
+ *    Stream Footer (12)
+ *
+ * Normally there is exactly one Block, but let's assume that there are
+ * 2-4 Blocks just in case. Because Stream Header and also Block Header
+ * of the first Block don't make the decompressor produce any uncompressed
+ * data, we can ignore them from our calculations. Block Headers of possible
+ * additional Blocks have to be taken into account still. With these
+ * assumptions, it is safe to assume that the total header overhead is
+ * less than 128 bytes.
+ *
+ * Compressed Data contains LZMA2 or BCJ+LZMA2 encoded data. Since BCJ
+ * doesn't change the size of the data, it is enough to calculate the
+ * safety margin for LZMA2.
+ *
+ * LZMA2 stores the data in chunks. Each chunk has a header whose size is
+ * a maximum of 6 bytes, but to get round 2^n numbers, let's assume that
+ * the maximum chunk header size is 8 bytes. After the chunk header, there
+ * may be up to 64 KiB of actual payload in the chunk. Often the payload is
+ * quite a bit smaller though; to be safe, let's assume that an average
+ * chunk has only 32 KiB of payload.
+ *
+ * The maximum uncompressed size of the payload is 2 MiB. The minimum
+ * uncompressed size of the payload is in practice never less than the
+ * payload size itself. The LZMA2 format would allow uncompressed size
+ * to be less than the payload size, but no sane compressor creates such
+ * files. LZMA2 supports storing uncompressible data in uncompressed form,
+ * so there's never a need to create payloads whose uncompressed size is
+ * smaller than the compressed size.
+ *
+ * The assumption, that the uncompressed size of the payload is never
+ * smaller than the payload itself, is valid only when talking about
+ * the payload as a whole. It is possible that the payload has parts where
+ * the decompressor consumes more input than it produces output. Calculating
+ * the worst case for this would be tricky. Instead of trying to do that,
+ * let's simply make sure that the decompressor never overwrites any bytes
+ * of the payload which it is currently reading.
+ *
+ * Now we have enough information to calculate the safety margin. We need
+ *   - 128 bytes for the .xz file format headers;
+ *   - 8 bytes per every 32 KiB of uncompressed size (one LZMA2 chunk header
+ *     per chunk, each chunk having average payload size of 32 KiB); and
+ *   - 64 KiB (biggest possible LZMA2 chunk payload size) to make sure that
+ *     the decompressor never overwrites anything from the LZMA2 chunk
+ *     payload it is currently reading.
+ *
+ * We get the following formula:
+ *
+ *    safety_margin = 128 + uncompressed_size * 8 / 32768 + 65536
+ *                  = 128 + (uncompressed_size >> 12) + 65536
+ *
+ * For comparision, according to arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.c, the
+ * equivalent formula for Deflate is this:
+ *
+ *    safety_margin = 18 + (uncompressed_size >> 12) + 32768
+ *
+ * Thus, when updating Deflate-only in-place kernel decompressor to
+ * support XZ, the fixed overhead has to be increased from 18+32768 bytes
+ * to 128+65536 bytes.
