When the user supplies an unsupported compression algorithm, keep the
previously selected one (knowingly supported) or the default one (if the
compression algorithm hasn't been changed yet).
Note that previously this operation (i.e. setting an invalid algorithm)
would result in no algorithm being selected, which means that this
represents a small change in the default behaviour.

Changes since v1:
* Moved the algorithm check further up, before mutex lock
* Dropped error path refactoring
* Updated commit text to explicitly refer to the ABI change
(changes suggested by Sergey and Minchan)
