Hello Andrew,

Could you please pick this V4 btrfs patch and the other five patches from V3 patch
set (https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/1/3/568).

Older patches can be dropped from linux-next:
 * ac2aeaa0f4d3 btrfs: use larger zlib buffer for s390 hardware compression
 * ac19f15aea33 lib/zlib: add zlib_deflate_dfltcc_enabled() function
 * 3447c9a51196 s390/boot: add dfltcc= kernel command line parameter
 * 890060df4401 lib/zlib: add s390 hardware support for kernel zlib_inflate
 * 148f7d060405 s390/boot: rename HEAP_SIZE due to name collision
 * bfbef17740fd lib/zlib: add s390 hardware support for kernel zlib_deflate

Thanks,
Mikhail.
