[PATCH 0/2] erofs-utils: refine tailpcluster compression approach

Hi,

This patchset refines tailpcluster compression. Firstly, instead of
compressing into many 4KiB pclusters, it compresses into 2 pclusters
as I already mentioned in the previous comment [1].

Secondly, it fixes up EOF lclusters which was disabled on purpose before
in order to achieve better inlining performance for small compressed data,
which matches the new kernel fix [2].

Still take linux-5.10.87 as an example (75368 inodes in total):
linux-5.10.87 (erofs, lz4hc,9 4k tailpacking)	391696384 => 331292672
linux-5.10.87 (erofs, lz4hc,9 8k tailpacking)	368807936 => 321961984
linux-5.10.87 (erofs, lz4hc,9 16k tailpacking)	345649152 => 313344000
linux-5.10.87 (erofs, lz4hc,9 32k tailpacking)  338649088 => 309055488

Thanks,
Gao Xiang
