Calvin Owens 6db1df415d btrfs: accept and ignore compression level for lzo 
The compression level is meaningless for lzo, but before commit
3f093ccb95 ("btrfs: harden parsing of compression mount options"),
it was silently ignored if passed.

After that commit, passing a level with lzo fails to mount:

    BTRFS error: unrecognized compression value lzo:1

It seems reasonable for users to expect that lzo would permit a numeric
level option, as all the other algos do, even though the kernel's
implementation of LZO currently only supports a single level. Because it
has always worked to pass a level, it seems likely to me that users in
the real world are relying on doing so.

This patch restores the old behavior, giving "lzo:N" the same semantics
as all of the other compression algos.

To be clear, silly variants like "lzo:one", "lzo:the_first_option", or
"lzo:armageddon" also used to work. This isn't meant to suggest that
any possible mis-interpretation of mount options that once worked must
continue to work forever. This is an exceptional case where it makes
sense to preserve compatibility, both because the mis-interpretation is
reasonable, and because nothing tangible is sacrificed.

Finally update btrfs_show_options() to ignore the level of LZO, as it
is only the default level without any extra meaning.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
