btrfs: Add lzo compression support

Lzo is a much faster compression algorithm than gzib, so would allow
more users to enable transparent compression, and some users can
choose from compression ratio and speed for different applications

Usage:

 # mount -t btrfs -o compress[=<zlib,lzo>] dev /mnt
or
 # mount -t btrfs -o compress-force[=<zlib,lzo>] dev /mnt

"-o compress" without argument is still allowed for compatability.

Compatibility:

If we mount a filesystem with lzo compression, it will not be able be
mounted in old kernels. One reason is, otherwise btrfs will directly
dump compressed data, which sits in inline extent, to user.

Performance:

The test copied a linux source tarball (~400M) from an ext4 partition
to the btrfs partition, and then extracted it.

Changelog:

v1 -> v2:
- Select LZO_COMPRESS and LZO_DECOMPRESS in btrfs Kconfig.
- Add incompability flag.
- Fix error handling in compress code.
