Currently, the squashfs multi_cpu decompressor makes use of
get_cpu_ptr()/put_cpu_ptr(), which unconditionally disable preemption
during decompression.
Because the workload is distributed across CPUs, all CPUs can observe a
very high wakeup latency, which has been seen to be as much as 8000us.
Convert this decompressor to make use of a local lock, which will allow
execution of the decompressor with preemption-enabled, but also ensure
concurrent accesses to the percpu compressor data on the local CPU will
be serialized.
