Commit 58eb5b670747 ("pstore: fix crypto dependencies") fixed up the crypto
dependencies but missed the case when no compression is selected.

With CONFIG_PSTORE=y, CONFIG_PSTORE_COMPRESS=n  and CONFIG_CRYPTO=m we see
the following link error:

fs/pstore/platform.o: In function `pstore_register':
(.text+0x1b1): undefined reference to `crypto_has_alg'
(.text+0x205): undefined reference to `crypto_alloc_base'
fs/pstore/platform.o: In function `pstore_unregister':
(.text+0x3b0): undefined reference to `crypto_destroy_tfm'

Fix this by checking at compile-time if CONFIG_PSTORE_COMPRESS is enabled.

The new crypto API use causes some problems with Kconfig dependencies,
including this link error:

fs/pstore/platform.o: In function `pstore_register':
platform.c:(.text+0x248): undefined reference to `crypto_has_alg'
platform.c:(.text+0x2a0): undefined reference to `crypto_alloc_base'

lz4hc.c:(.init.text+0x1f): undefined reference to `crypto_register_scomp'
lz4hc.c:(.init.text+0x2f): undefined reference to `crypto_unregister_alg'

The problem is that with CONFIG_CRYPTO=m, we must not 'select CRYPTO_LZ4'
from a bool symbol, or call crypto API functions from a built-in
module.

This turns the sub-options into 'tristate' ones so the dependencies
are honored, and makes the pstore itself select the crypto core
if necessary.

In the pstore compression part, we use zlib/lzo/lz4/lz4hc/842
compression algorithm API to implement pstore compression backends. But
there are many repeat codes in these implementations. This patch uses
crypto compress API to simplify these codes.

1) rewrite allocate_buf_for_compression, free_buf_for_compression,
pstore_compress, pstore_decompress functions using crypto compress API.
2) drop compress, decompress, allocate, free functions in pstore_zbackend,
and add zbufsize function to get each different compress buffer size.
3) use late_initcall to call ramoops_init later, to make sure the crypto
subsystem has already initialized.
4) use 'unsigned int' type instead of 'size_t' in pstore_compress,
pstore_decompress functions' length arguments.
5) rename 'zlib' to 'deflate' to follow the crypto API's name convention.

Instead of using a stack VLA for the parity workspace, preallocate a
memory region. The preallocation is done to keep from needing to perform
allocations during crash dump writing, etc. This also fixes a missed
release of librs on free.

To allow for easier build test coverage and run-time testing, this allows
multiple compression algorithms to be built into pstore. Still only one
is supported to operate at a time (which can be selected at build time
or at boot time, similar to how LSMs are selected).

Instead of casting, make sure we don't end up with giant values and just
perform regular assignments with unsigned int instead of re-cast size_t.

includes irq_enter/exit APIs which are not used by pstore at all.

So, remove the unused hardirq.h.

This changes all DEFINE_TIMER() callbacks to use a struct timer_list
pointer instead of unsigned long. Since the data argument has already been
removed, none of these callbacks are using their argument currently, so
this renames the argument to "unused".

Done using the following semantic patch:

@match_define_timer@
declarer name DEFINE_TIMER;
identifier _timer, _callback;
@@

 DEFINE_TIMER(_timer, _callback);

@change_callback depends on match_define_timer@
identifier match_define_timer._callback;
