Bo Liu b4a29efc51 erofs: support DEFLATE decompression by using Intel QAT
This patch introduces the use of the Intel QAT to offload EROFS data
decompression, aiming to improve the decompression performance.

A 285MiB dataset is used with the following command to create EROFS
images with different cluster sizes:
     $ mkfs.erofs -zdeflate,level=9 -C{4096,16384,65536,131072,262144}

Fio is used to test the following read patterns:
     $ fio -filename=testfile -bs=4k -rw=read -name=job1
     $ fio -filename=testfile -bs=4k -rw=randread -name=job1
     $ fio -filename=testfile -bs=4k -rw=randread --io_size=14m -name=job1

Here are some performance numbers for reference:
