btrfs: use larger zlib buffer for s390 hardware compression



In order to benefit from s390 zlib hardware compression support,
increase the btrfs zlib workspace buffer size from 1 to 4 pages (if s390
zlib hardware support is enabled on the machine).

This brings up to 60% better performance in hardware on s390 compared to
the PAGE_SIZE buffer and much more compared to the software zlib
processing in btrfs.  In case of memory pressure, fall back to a single
page buffer during workspace allocation.

The data compressed with larger input buffers will still conform to zlib
standard and thus can be decompressed also on a systems that uses only
PAGE_SIZE buffer for btrfs zlib.
