[PATCH v2] pstore: Adjust buffer size for compression for smaller registered buffers

[Aruna Balakrishnaiah]

When backends (ex: efivars) have smaller registered buffers, the big_oops_buf
is quite too big for them as number of repeated occurences in the text captured
will be less. Patch takes care of adjusting the buffer size based on the
registered buffer size. cmpr values has been arrived after doing experiments with
plain text for buffers of size 1k - 4k (Smaller the buffer size repeated occurence
will be less) and with sample crash log for buffers ranging from 4k - 10k.

Changes from v1:
	Retain the cmpr = 45 for buffers ranging of size 4k - 10k. 45 seems to work.
I added an additional headroom of 3%. Revert it back to 45.
