    erofs: introduce readmore decompression strategy · 38629291

    Previously, the readahead window was strictly followed by EROFS
    decompression strategy in order to minimize extra memory footprint.
    However, it could become inefficient if just reading the partial
    requested data for much big LZ4 pclusters and the upcoming LZMA
    implementation.
    
    Let's try to request the leading data in a pcluster without
    triggering memory reclaiming instead for the LZ4 approach first
    to boost up 100% randread of large big pclusters, and it has no real
    impact on low memory scenarios.
    
    It also introduces a way to expand read lengths in order to decompress
    the whole pcluster, which is useful for LZMA since the algorithm
    itself is relatively slow and causes CPU bound, but LZ4 is not.
