Subject: [PATCH] btrfs compression: reuse recently used workspace

Hello,

Whenever possible, find_workspace() returns the first idle workspace;
and free_workspace() puts workspace to idle list tail. Put workspace to
head of idle list instead. Hopefully, this will let to reuse most recently
used workspace and avoid workspace->mem, ->buf, ->cbuf address translations.

p.s. This patch is theoretical, no testing has been performed in order to
support this patch.
