bzip2/lzma/gzip: fix comments describing decompressor API
Fix and improve comments in decompress/generic.h that describe the decompressor API. Also remove an unused definition, and rename INBUF_LEN in lib/decompress_inflate.c to conform to bzip2/lzma naming. Signed-off-by: Phillip Lougher <phillip@lougher.demon.co.uk> Cc: "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@zytor.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
