Subject: [PATCH] lz4: fix wrong compress buffer size for 64-bits

The current lz4 compress buffer is 16kb on 32-bits, 32kb on 64-bits system.
But, lz4 needs only 16kb on both. On 64-bits, this causes wasted cpu cycles
for additional memset during every compression.

In case of lz4hc,
the current buffer size is (256kb + 8) on 32-bits, (512kb + 16) on 64-bits.
But, lz4hc needs only (256kb + 2 * pointer) on both.

This patch fixes these wrong compress buffer sizes for 64-bits.
