[RFC PATCH] ubifs: Add zstd support

From: Yufen Yu
Date: Fri Jan 12 2018 - 04:21:46 EST


Add zstd compression and decompression support to ubifs. zstd at its
fastest level compresses almost as well as zlib, while offering much
faster compression and decompression, approaching lzo speeds.

This patch is based on the patch:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9892631/

zstd source repository: https://github.com/facebook/zstd
