Thomas Gleixner 45888b40d2 rslib: Allocate decoder buffers to avoid VLAs
To get rid of the variable length arrays on stack in the RS decoder it's
necessary to allocate the decoder buffers per control structure instance.

All usage sites have been checked for potential parallel decoder usage and
fixed where necessary. Kees confirmed that the pstore decoding is strictly
single threaded so there should be no surprises.

Allocate them in the rs control structure sized depending on the number of
roots for the chosen codec and adapt the decoder code to make use of them.

Document the fact that decode operations based on a particular rs control
instance cannot run in parallel and the caller has to ensure that as it's
not possible to provide a proper locking construct which fits all use
cases.
