Hi,

I think it's a bug in `scomp_acomp_comp_decomp()`, which doesn't use
the caller passed "src" and "dst" scatterlist. Instead, it uses its own
per-cpu "scomp_scratch", which have 128KB src and dst.

When compression done, it uses the output req->dlen to copy scomp_scratch->dst
to our dstmem, which has only one page now, so this problem happened.

I still don't know why the alg->compress(src, slen, dst, &dlen) doesn't
check the dlen? It seems an obvious bug, right?

As for this problem in `scomp_acomp_comp_decomp()`, this patch below
should fix it. I will set up a few tests to check later.

Thanks!
