The timer function, zstd_reclaim_timer_fn(), reschedules itself under
certain conditions. When cleaning up, take the lock and remove all
workspaces. This prevents the timer from rearming itself. Lastly, switch
to del_timer_sync() to ensure that the timer function can't trigger as
we're unloading.

Zstd compression requires different amounts of memory for each level of
compression. The prior patches implemented indirection to allow for each
compression type to manage their workspaces independently. This patch
uses this indirection to implement compression level support for zstd.
To manage the additional memory require, each compression level has its
own queue of workspaces. A global LRU is used to help with reclaim.
Reclaim is done via a timer which provides a mechanism to decrease
memory utilization by keeping only workspaces around that are sized
appropriately. Forward progress is guaranteed by a preallocated max
workspace hidden from the LRU.
When getting a workspace, it uses a bitmap to identify the levels that
are populated and scans up. If it finds a workspace that is greater than
it, it uses it, but does not update the last_used time and the
corresponding place in the LRU. If we hit memory pressure, we sleep on
the max level workspace. We continue to rescan in case we can use a
smaller workspace, but eventually should be able to obtain the max level
workspace or allocate one again should memory pressure subside.
The memory requirement for decompression is the same as level 1, and
therefore can use any of available workspace.
The number of workspaces is bound by an upper limit of the workqueue's
limit which currently is 2 (percpu limit). The reclaim timer is used to
free inactive/improperly sized workspaces and is set to 307s to avoid
colliding with transaction commit (every 30s).
Repeating the experiment from v2 [1], the Silesia corpus was copied to a
btrfs filesystem 10 times and then read back after dropping the caches.
The btrfs filesystem was on an SSD.

It is possible based on the level configurations that a higher level
workspace uses less memory than a lower level workspace. In order to
reuse workspaces, this must be made a monotonic relationship. This
precomputes the required memory for each level and enforces the
monotonicity between level and memory required. This is also done
in upstream zstd in [1].

Zstd currently only supports the default level of compression. This
patch switches to using the level passed in for btrfs zstd
configuration.
Zstd workspaces now keep track of the requested level as this can differ
from the size of the workspace.

Currently, the only user of set_level() is zlib which sets an internal
workspace parameter. As level is now plumbed into get_workspace(), this
can be handled there rather than separately.
This repurposes set_level() to bound the level passed in so it can be
used when setting the mounts compression level and as well as verifying
the level before getting a workspace. The other benefit is this divides
the meaning of compress(0) and get_workspace(0). The former means we
want to use the default compression level of the compression type. The
latter means we can use any workspace available.

Zlib compression supports multiple levels, but doesn't require changing
in how a workspace itself is created and managed. Zstd introduces a
different memory requirement such that higher levels of compression
require more memory.
This requires changes in how the alloc()/get() methods work for zstd.
This pach plumbs compression level through the interface as a parameter
in preparation for zstd compression levels. This gives the compression
types opportunity to create/manage based on the compression level.

The previous patch added generic helpers for get_workspace() and
put_workspace(). Now, we can migrate ownership of the workspace_manager
to be in the compression type code as the compression code itself
doesn't care beyond being able to get a workspace. The init/cleanup and
get/put methods are abstracted so each compression algorithm can decide
how they want to manage their workspaces.

Preliminary support for setting compression level for zlib, the
following works:
$ mount -o compess=zlib # default
$ mount -o compess=zlib0 # same
$ mount -o compess=zlib9 # level 9, slower sync, less data
$ mount -o compess=zlib1 # level 1, faster sync, more data
$ mount -o remount,compress=zlib3 # level set by remount
The compress-force works the same as compress'. The level is visible in
the same format in /proc/mounts. Level set via file property does not
work yet.

Add zstd compression and decompression support to BtrFS. zstd at its
fastest level compresses almost as well as zlib, while offering much
faster compression and decompression, approaching lzo speeds.
I benchmarked btrfs with zstd compression against no compression, lzo
compression, and zlib compression. I benchmarked two scenarios. Copying
a set of files to btrfs, and then reading the files. Copying a tarball
to btrfs, extracting it to btrfs, and then reading the extracted files.
After every operation, I call `sync` and include the sync time.
Between every pair of operations I unmount and remount the filesystem
to avoid caching. The benchmark files can be found in the upstream
zstd source repository under
`contrib/linux-kernel/{btrfs-benchmark.sh,btrfs-extract-benchmark.sh}`
[1] [2].
I ran the benchmarks on a Ubuntu 14.04 VM with 2 cores and 4 GiB of RAM.
The VM is running on a MacBook Pro with a 3.1 GHz Intel Core i7 processor,
16 GB of RAM, and a SSD.
The first compression benchmark is copying 10 copies of the unzipped
Silesia corpus [3] into a BtrFS filesystem mounted with
`-o compress-force=Method`. The decompression benchmark times how long
it takes to `tar` all 10 copies into `/dev/null`. The compression ratio is
measured by comparing the output of `df` and `du`. See the benchmark file
[1] for details. I benchmarked multiple zstd compression levels, although
the patch uses zstd level 1.
| Method | Ratio | Compression MB/s | Decompression speed |
|---------|-------|------------------|---------------------|
| None | 0.99 | 504 | 686 |
| lzo | 1.66 | 398 | 442 |
| zlib | 2.58 | 65 | 241 |
| zstd 1 | 2.57 | 260 | 383 |
| zstd 3 | 2.71 | 174 | 408 |
| zstd 6 | 2.87 | 70 | 398 |
| zstd 9 | 2.92 | 43 | 406 |
| zstd 12 | 2.93 | 21 | 408 |
| zstd 15 | 3.01 | 11 | 354 |
The next benchmark first copies `linux-4.11.6.tar` [4] to btrfs. Then it
measures the compression ratio, extracts the tar, and deletes the tar.
Then it measures the compression ratio again, and `tar`s the extracted
files into `/dev/null`. See the benchmark file [2] for details.
| Method | Tar Ratio | Extract Ratio | Copy (s) | Extract (s)| Read (s) |
|--------|-----------|---------------|----------|------------|----------|
| None | 0.97 | 0.78 | 0.981 | 5.501 | 8.807 |
| lzo | 2.06 | 1.38 | 1.631 | 8.458 | 8.585 |
| zlib | 3.40 | 1.86 | 7.750 | 21.544 | 11.744 |
