In following patch, new synchronous compression APIs will be introduced and it needs one flags to determine whether context buffer is needed or not for decompression. It can be implemented by flag in it's own algorithm structure definition but because there is a room in general crypto_alg flag, this patch reuses it to reduce complexity. It possibly can be used for other algorithm type.
