Subject: [PATCH 01/11] powerpc/pseries: Remove (de)compression in nvram with
 pstore enabled

(De)compression support is provided in pstore in subsequent patches which
needs an additional argument 'compressed' to determine if the data
is compressed or not. This patch will take care of removing (de)compression
in nvram with pstore which was making use of 'hsize' argument in pstore write
as 'hsize' will be removed in the subsequent patch.
