Merge branch 'cxgb4-reduce-memory-footprint-for-collecting-firmware-dump'

Rahul Lakkireddy says:

====================
cxgb4: reduce memory footprint for collecting firmware dump

Firmware dump can be large (upto 2 GB).  In low memory conditions,
ethtool fails to allocate such large memory.  So, use zlib deflate
to compress collected firmware dump.

Patch 1 updates collection logic to use compression.

Patch 2 adds zlib deflate to compress collected firmware dump.
