Some boards have a hardware watchdog that (a) cannot be disabled
and (b) has a timeout short enough that there's no chance for the
kernel to get through decompression, let alone reach the
initialization of the appropriate watchdog device driver.

In order to allow booting such boards, the decompression routine needs
to service the watchdog in its main loop. This wires up lz4 to do that
via the decompress_keepalive() macro defined in the new
linux/decompress/keepalive.h.
