Merge tag 'zstd-for-linus-5.16-rc1' of git://github.com/terrelln/linux

Pull zstd fixes from Nick Terrell:
 "Fix stack usage on parisc & improve code size bloat

  This contains three commits:

   1. Fixes a minor unused variable warning reported by Kernel test
      robot [0].

   2. Improves the reported code bloat (-88KB / 374KB) [1] by outlining
      some functions that are unlikely to be used in performance
      sensitive workloads.

   3. Fixes the reported excess stack usage on parisc [2] by removing
      -O3 from zstd's compilation flags. -O3 triggered bugs in the
      hppa-linux-gnu gcc-8 compiler. -O2 performance is acceptable:
      neutral compression, about -1% decompression speed. We also reduce
      code bloat (-105KB / 374KB).

  After this our code bloat is cut from 374KB to 105KB with gcc-11. If
  we wanted to cut the remaining 105KB we'd likely have to trade
  signicant performance, so I want to say that this is enough for now.

  We should be able to get further gains without sacrificing speed, but
  that will take some significant optimization effort, and isn't
  suitable for a quick fix. I've opened an upstream issue [3] to track
  the code size, and try to avoid future regressions, and improve it in
  the long term"
