When building a kernel with CONFIG_PSTORE=y and CONFIG_CRYPTO not set,
a build error happens:
ld: fs/pstore/platform.o: in function `pstore_dump':
platform.c:(.text+0x3f9): undefined reference to `crypto_comp_compress'
ld: fs/pstore/platform.o: in function `pstore_get_backend_records':
platform.c:(.text+0x784): undefined reference to `crypto_comp_decompress'
This because some pstore code uses crypto_comp_(de)compress regardless
of the CONFIG_CRYPTO status. Fix it by wrapping the (de)compress usage
by IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PSTORE_COMPRESS)

pstore/blk is similar to pstore/ram, but uses a block device as the
storage rather than persistent ram.
The pstore/blk backend solves two common use-cases that used to preclude
using pstore/ram:
- not all devices have a battery that could be used to persist
regular RAM across power failures.
- most embedded intelligent equipment have no persistent ram, which
increases costs, instead preferring cheaper solutions, like block
devices.
pstore/blk provides separate configurations for the end user and for the
block drivers. User configuration determines how pstore/blk operates, such
as record sizes, max kmsg dump reasons, etc. These can be set by Kconfig
and/or module parameters, but module parameter have priority over Kconfig.
Driver configuration covers all the details about the target block device,
such as total size of the device and how to perform read/write operations.
These are provided by block drivers, calling pstore_register_blkdev(),
including an optional panic_write callback used to bypass regular IO
APIs in an effort to avoid potentially destabilized kernel code during
a panic.

Now that pstore_register() can correctly pass max_reason to the kmesg
dump facility, introduce a new "max_reason" module parameter and
"max-reason" Device Tree field.
The "dump_oops" module parameter and "dump-oops" Device
Tree field are now considered deprecated, but are now automatically
converted to their corresponding max_reason values when present, though
the new max_reason setting has precedence.
For struct ramoops_platform_data, the "dump_oops" member is entirely
replaced by a new "max_reason" member, with the only existing user
updated in place.
Additionally remove the "reason" filter logic from ramoops_pstore_write(),
as that is not specifically needed anymore, though technically
this is a change in behavior for any ramoops users also setting the
printk.always_kmsg_dump boot param, which will cause ramoops to behave as
if max_reason was set to KMSG_DUMP_MAX.

Add a new member to struct pstore_info for passing information about
kmesg dump maximum reason. This allows a finer control of what kmesg
dumps are sent to pstore storage backends.
Those backends that do not explicitly set this field (keeping it equal to
0), get the default behavior: store only Oopses and Panics, or everything
if the printk.always_kmsg_dump boot param is set.

In order to more cleanly pass around backend names, make the "name" member
const. This means the module param needs to be dynamic (technically, it
was before, so this actually cleans up a minor memory leak if a backend
was specified and then gets unloaded.)

The CON_ENABLED flag gets cleared during unregister_console(), so make
sure we already reset the console flags before calling register_console(),
otherwise unloading and reloading a pstore backend will not restart
console logging.
