[fs/squashfs PATCH v3 1/2] Add warning for dynamic memory usage.

SquashFS may need a large amount of dynamic memory fot its buffers,
especially if and when compression is enabled I got failures with
CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN < 0x4000.

I found no way to enforce this in Kconfig itself, so I resorted
to ada a warning in help string.
