btrfs: accept and ignore compression level for lzo
The compression level is meaningless for lzo, but before commit
3f093ccb95f30 ("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.
