liblzma: Make Valgrind happier with optimized (gcc -O2) liblzma. 

When optimizing, GCC can reorder code so that an uninitialized
value gets used in a comparison, which makes Valgrind unhappy.
It doesn't happen when compiled with -O0, which I tend to use
when running Valgrind.

Thanks to Rich Prohaska. I remember this being mentioned long
ago by someone else but nothing was done back then.
