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.
