Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Decompressors: Check for write errors in decompress_unlzo.c

From: Lasse Collin <lasse.collin@...aani.org>

The return value of flush() is not checked in unlzo().
This means that the decompressor won't stop even if the
caller doesn't want more data. This can happen e.g. with
a corrupt LZO-compressed initramfs image.
