Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: compress: allow lz4 to compress data partially

For lz4 worst compress case, caller should allocate buffer with size
of LZ4_compressBound(inputsize) for target compressed data storing.

However lz4 supports partial data compression, so we can get rid of
output buffer size limitation now, then we can avoid 2 * 4KB size
intermediate buffer allocation when log_cluster_size is 2, and avoid
unnecessary compressing work of compressor if we can not save at
least 4KB space.
