[PATCH 2/3] jffs2: Add a "favourlzo" compression mode to jffs2

[Richard Purdie]

Add a "favourlzo" compression mode to jffs2 which tries to
optimise by size but gives lzo an advantage when comparing sizes.
This means the faster lzo algorithm can be preferred when there
isn't much difference in compressed size (the exact threshold can
be changed).
