Subject: [PATCH] kconfig: update compression algorithm info

From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@...otime.net>

There have been new compression algorithms added without
updating nearby relevant descriptive text that refers to
(a) the number of compression algorithms and (b) the most
recent one.  Fix these inconsistencies.
