The older version of lz4 had this problem that while decompressing
partial if we don't give the buffer size up to full data length it was
failing[1] but it is solved in version 1.9.

This is done for the latest version as now we don't need to allocate
the buffer of full size, it is enough the allocate just equal to the
slicelength.

I will fix this.
