The ZLIB format (RFC 1950) is made of deflate compressed data surrounded
by a header and a footer. The QAT accelerators support only the deflate
algorithm, therefore the header and the footer need to be inserted in
software.
This adds logic in the QAT driver to support the ZLIB format. In
particular:
* Generalize the function qat_comp_alg_compress_decompress() to allow
skipping an initial region (header) of the source and/or destination
scatter lists.
* Add logic to register the qat_zlib_deflate algorithm into the acomp
framework.
* For ZLIB compression, skip the initial portion of the destination
buffer before sending the job to the QAT accelerator and insert the
ZLIB header and footer in the callback, after the QAT request has
been processed.
* For ZLIB decompression, parse the header in the input buffer
provided by the user and verify its validity before attempting the
decompression of the buffer with QAT. Then submit the buffer to QAT
for decompression. In the callback verify the correctness of the
footer by comparing the value of the ADLER produced by QAT with the
one in the destination buffer.

Extend qat_bl_sgl_to_bufl() to allow skipping the mapping of a region
of the source and the destination scatter lists starting from byte
zero.
This is to support the ZLIB format (RFC 1950) in the qat driver.
The ZLIB format is made of deflate compressed data surrounded by a
header and a footer. The QAT accelerators support only the deflate
algorithm, therefore the header should not be mapped since it is
inserted in software.

The acomp API allows to send requests with a NULL destination buffer. In
this case, the algorithm implementation needs to allocate the
destination scatter list, perform the operation and return the buffer to
the user. For decompression, data is likely to expand and be bigger than
the allocated buffer.
This implements a re-submission mechanism for decompression requests
that is triggered if the destination buffer, allocated by the driver,
is not sufficiently big to store the output from decompression.
If an overflow is detected when processing the callback for a
decompression request with a NULL destination buffer, a workqueue is
scheduled. This allocates a new scatter list of size CRYPTO_ACOMP_DST_MAX,
now 128KB, creates a new firmware scatter list and resubmits the job to
the hardware accelerator.

Add infrastructure for implementing the acomp APIs in the QAT driver and
expose the deflate algorithm for QAT GEN2 devices.
This adds
(1) the compression service which includes logic to create, allocate
and handle compression instances;
(2) logic to create configuration entries at probe time for the
compression instances;
(3) updates to the firmware API for allowing the compression service;
and;
(4) a back-end for deflate that implements the acomp api for QAT GEN2
devices.
The implementation configures the device to produce data compressed
statically, optimized for throughput over compression ratio.
