This patch updates LZ4 kernel module to LZ4 v1.7.2 by Yann Collet.
The kernel module is inspired by the previous work by Chanho Min.
The updated LZ4 module will not break existing code since there were alias
methods added to ensure backwards compatibility.

Meta-comment.  Does this update include all of the security fixes that
we have made over the past few years to the lz4 code?  I don't want to
be adding back insecure functions that will cause us problems.

Specifically look at the changes I made in 2014 in this directory for an
example of what I am talking about here.

Also, this series must be tested on big endian, to make sure the last
fixes we made don't regress.


Thanks,
