Subject: [PATCH 0/9] crypto: add zbufsize() interface

When pstore was refactored to use the crypto compress API in:

  commit cb3bee0369bc ("pstore: Use crypto compress API")

nearly all the pstore-specific compression routines were replaced with
the existing crypto compression API. One case remained: calculating the
"worst case" compression sizes ahead of time so it could have a buffer
preallocated for doing compression (which was called "zbufsize").

To make pstore fully algorithm-agnostic, the compression API needs to
grow this functionality. This adds the interface to support querying the
"worst case" estimate, with a new "zbufsize" routine that each compressor
can implement.

This series adds the interface, updates each compressor, and refactors
pstore. (Though note, this is based on v4.18-rc2, and pstore will be
gaining zstd support during the v4.19 merge window, so the last patch
in this series will need to be coordinated, but I left it to show how
things would look right now.)
