7ab24bfdf9 net+crypto: Use vmalloc for zlib inflate buffers.
They are 64K and result in order-4 allocations, even with SLUB.

Therefore, just like we always have for the deflate buffers, use
vmalloc.

565d76cb7d zlib: slim down zlib_deflate() workspace when possible
Instead of always creating a huge (268K) deflate_workspace with the
maximum compression parameters (windowBits=15, memLevel=8), allow the
caller to obtain a smaller workspace by specifying smaller parameter
values.

For example, when capturing oops and panic reports to a medium with
limited capacity, such as NVRAM, compression may be the only way to
capture the whole report.  In this case, a small workspace (24K works
fine) is a win, whether you allocate the workspace when you need it (i.e.,
during an oops or panic) or at boot time.

I've verified that this patch works with all accepted values of windowBits
(positive and negative), memLevel, and compression level.

3ce858cb04 crypto: compress - Return produced bytes in crypto_{,de}compress_{update,final}
If crypto_{,de}compress_{update,final}() succeed, return the actual number of
bytes produced instead of zero, so their users don't have to calculate that
theirselves.
