branches/zip: Use the buddy allocator for managing compressed pages.
There is something wrong with the management of compressed-only blocks (BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_PAGE). To disable the creation of such blocks, set zip=TRUE in buf_LRU_block_remove_hashed_page(). buf_LRU_block_remove_hashed_page(): Release buf_pool->zip_mutex when freeing a compressed-only page and its control block, with buf_buddy_free(). Adapt callers. buf_LRU_block_free_hashed_page(): Change the parameter type from buf_page_t* to buf_block_t*. buf_LRU_free_block(): Move below the definition of buf_LRU_add_block_low(). Allocate block descriptor for compressed-only blocks. buf_LRU_block_free_non_file_page(): Replace ut_free() with buf_buddy_free(). buf_zip_decompress(): New function, split from buf_page_io_complete(). buf_page_init_for_read(): Do not allocate the compressed page until it is really needed, to avoid the overhead of the buddy allocator. Decompress compressed-only blocks that are needed again. buf_page_create(): Do not allocate the compressed page until it is really needed, to avoid the overhead of the buddy allocator. buf_validate(): Replace some equality tests on the lengths of the LRU list and the flush lists with greater-or-equal tests, since the counted numbers do not include control blocks for compressed-only pages.
