    lib/decompressors: use real out buf size for gunzip with kernel · 76763f58

    commit 2d3862d2 upstream.
    
    When loading x86 64bit kernel above 4GiB with patched grub2, got kernel
    gunzip error.

    the new buffer is at 0x46fe000000ULL, decompressor_gzip is using
    0xffffffb901ffffff as out_len.  gunzip in lib/zlib_inflate/inflate.c cap
    that len to 0x01ffffff and decompress fails later.
    
    We could hit this problem with crashkernel booting that uses kexec loading
    kernel above 4GiB.
    
    We have decompress_* support:
        1. inbuf[]/outbuf[] for kernel preboot.
        2. inbuf[]/flush() for initramfs
        3. fill()/flush() for initrd.
    This bug only affect kernel preboot path that use outbuf[].
    
    Add __decompress and take real out_buf_len for gunzip instead of guessing
    wrong buf size.
