Subject: [GIT PULL] erofs updates for 6.3-rc1

Hi Linus,

Could you consider this pull request for 6.3-rc1?

The most noticeable feature for this cycle is per-CPU kthread
decompression since Android use cases need low-latency I/O handling
in order to ensure the app runtime performance, currently unbounded
workqueue latencies are not quite good for production on many aarch64
hardwares and thus we need to introduce a deterministic expectation
for these.  Decompression is CPU-intensive and it is sleepable for
EROFS, so other alternatives like decompression under softirq contexts
are not considered.  More details are in the corresponding commit
message.

Others are random cleanups around the whole codebase and we will
continue to clean up further in the next few months.

Due to Lunar New Year holidays, some new features were not completely
reviewed and solidified as expected and we may delay them into the
next version.  All commits have been in -next for a while.

Thanks,
Gao Xiang
