f2fs: use vmalloc instead of kvmalloc in .init_{,de}compress_ctx



[ Upstream commit 70dd07c8 ]

.init_{,de}compress_ctx uses kvmalloc() to alloc memory, it will try
to allocate physically continuous page first, it may cause more memory
allocation pressure, let's use vmalloc instead to mitigate it.

[Test]
cd /data/local/tmp
touch file
f2fs_io setflags compression file
f2fs_io getflags file
for i in $(seq 1 10); do sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches;\
time f2fs_io write 512 0 4096 zero osync file; truncate -s 0 file;\
done

[Result]
Before		After		Delta
21.243		21.694		-2.12%

For compression, we recommend to use ioctl to compress file data in
background for workaround.

For decompression, only zstd will be affected.
