Subject: [PATCH] journal: fix error handling when compressing journal objects

Let's make sure we handle compression errors properly, and don't
misunderstand an error for success.

Also, let's actually compress things if lz4 is enabled.

Fixes #1662.

Cherry-picked from: d1afbcd22170e95c79261340071d376fe41fc3af
Resolves: #1292447
