crypto: lzo - Fix compression buffer overrun

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: lzo - Fix compression buffer overrun Unlike the decompression code, the compression code in LZO never checked for output overruns.

Add a safe compression interface that checks for the end of buffer before each write. Use the safe interface in crypto/lzo.
