Subject: [PATCH 1/1] lz4: fix system halt at boot kernel on x86_64

Sometimes, on x86_64, decompression fails with the following
error:

Decompressing Linux...

Decoding failed

 -- System halted

This condition is not needed for a 64bit kernel(from commit d5e7caf):

if( ... ||
    (op + COPYLENGTH) > oend)
    goto _output_error

macro LZ4_SECURE_COPY() tests op and does not copy any data
when op exceeds the value.

added by analogy to lz4_uncompress_unknownoutputsize(...)
