Update the LZ4 compression module based on LZ4 v1.8.3 in order for the erofs file system to use the newest LZ4_decompress_safe_partial() which can now decode exactly the nb of bytes requested [1] to take place of the open hacked code in the erofs file system itself. Currently, apart from the erofs file system, no other users use LZ4_decompress_safe_partial, so no worry about the interface. In addition, LZ4 v1.8.x boosts up decompression speed compared to the current code which is based on LZ4 v1.7.3, mainly due to shortcut optimization for the specific common LZ4-sequences [2]. lzbench testdata (tested in kirin710, 8 cores, 4 big cores at 2189Mhz, 2GB DDR RAM at 1622Mhz, with enwik8 testdata [3]): Compressor name Compress.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
