Subject: [PATCH] lib/zlib: fix inflating zlib streams on s390

Decompressing zlib streams on s390 fails with "incorrect data check"
error.

Userspace zlib checks inflate_state.flags in order to byteswap checksums
only for zlib streams, and s390 hardware inflate code, which was ported
from there, tries to match this behavior. At the same time, kernel zlib
does not use inflate_state.flags, so it contains essentially random
values. For many use cases either zlib stream is zeroed out or checksum
is not used, so this problem is masked, but at least SquashFS is still
affected.

Fix by always passing a checksum to and from the hardware as is, which
matches zlib_inflate()'s expectations.
