smb: client: compress: fix buffer overrun in lz77_compress()

@dst buffer is allocated with same size as @src, which, for good
compression cases, works fine.

However, when compression goes bad (e.g. random bytes payloads), the
compressed size can increase significantly, and even by stopping the
main loop at 7/8 of @slen, writing leftover literals could write past
the end of @dst because of LZ77 metadata.

To fix this, add lz77_compressed_alloc_size() helper to compute the
correct allocation size for @dst, accounting for metadata and worst
cast scenario (all literals).

While this is overprovisioning memory, it's not only correct, but also
allows lz77_compress() main loop to run without ever checking @dst
limits (i.e. a perf improvement).

* lz77_compressed_alloc_size() - Compute compressed buffer size.
* @size: uncompressed (src) size
*
* Compute allocation size for the compressed buffer based on uncompressed size.
* Accounts for metadata and overprovision for the worst case scenario.
*
* LZ77 metadata is a 4-byte flag that is written:
* - on dst begin (pos 0)
* - every 32 literals or matches
* - on end-of-stream (possibly, if last write was another flag)
*
* Worst case scenario is an all-literal compression, which means:
* metadata bytes = 4 + ((@size / 32) * 4) + 4, or, simplified, (@size >> 3) + 8
*
* The worst case scenario rarely happens, but such overprovisioning also allows lz77_compress()
* main loop to run without ever bound checking dst, which is a huge perf improvement, while also
* being safe when compression goes bad.
*
* Return: required (*) allocation size for compressed buffer.
*
* (*) checked once in the beginning of lz77_compress()
