drm/msm: Optimize adreno_show_object()
When the userspace tries to read the crashstate dump, the read side implementation in the driver currently ascii85 encodes all the binary buffers and it does this each time the read system call is called. A userspace tool like cat typically does a page by page read and the number of read calls depends on the size of the data captured by the driver. This is certainly not desirable and does not scale well with large captures. This patch encodes the buffer only once in the read path. With this there is an immediate >10X speed improvement in crashstate save time.
