Fix the code comments for lzo compression workspace.
The buf item is used to store the decompressed data
and cbuf is used to store the compressed data.

When decompressing a chunk of data, we'll copy the data out to
a working buffer if the data is stored in more than one page,
otherwise we'll use the mapped page directly to avoid memory
copy.
In the latter case, we'll end up accessing the kernel address
after we've unmapped the page in a corner case.

Lzo is a much faster compression algorithm than gzib, so would allow
more users to enable transparent compression, and some users can
choose from compression ratio and speed for different applications
Usage:
# mount -t btrfs -o compress[=<zlib,lzo>] dev /mnt
or
# mount -t btrfs -o compress-force[=<zlib,lzo>] dev /mnt
"-o compress" without argument is still allowed for compatability.
Compatibility:
If we mount a filesystem with lzo compression, it will not be able be
mounted in old kernels. One reason is, otherwise btrfs will directly
dump compressed data, which sits in inline extent, to user.
Performance:
The test copied a linux source tarball (~400M) from an ext4 partition
to the btrfs partition, and then extracted it.
