zstd: import usptream v1.5.2
Updates the kernel's zstd library to v1.5.2, the latest zstd release.
The upstream tag it is updated to is `v1.5.2-kernel`, which contains
several cherry-picked commits on top of the v1.5.2 release which are
required for the kernel update. I will create this tag once the PR is
ready to merge, until then reference the temporary upstream branch
`v1.5.2-kernel-cherrypicks`.
I plan to submit this patch as part of the v6.2 merge window.
I've done basic build testing & testing on x86-64, i386, and aarch64.
I'm merging these patches into my `zstd-next` branch, which is pulled
into `linux-next` for further testing.
I've benchmarked BtrFS with zstd compression on a x86-64 machine, and
saw these results. Decompression speed is a small win across the board.
The lower compression levels 1-4 see both compression speed and
compression ratio wins. The higher compression levels see a small
compression speed loss and about neutral ratio. I expect the lower
compression levels to be used much more heavily than the high
compression levels, so this should be a net win.
