Add a helper to write a sequence of bytes as STP data packets. This
is used by protocol drivers to output their metadata, as well as the
actual data payload.

At the moment, the stm class applies a certain STP framing pattern to
the data as it is written to the underlying STM device. In order to
allow different framing patterns (aka protocols), this patch introduces
the concept of STP protocol drivers, defines data structures and APIs
for the protocol drivers to use.

Currently, if no matching policy node can be found for a trace source,
we'll try to use "default" policy node, then, if that doesn't exist,
we'll pick the first node, in order of creation. If that also fails,
we'll allocate M/C range from the beginning of the device's M/C range.
This makes it difficult to know which node (if any) was used in any
particular case.
In order to make things more deterministic, the new order is as follows:
* if they supply ID string, use that and nothing else,
* if they are a task, use their task name (comm),
* use "default", if it exists,
* return failure, to let them know there is no suitable rule.
This should provide enough convenience with the "default" catch-all node,
while not leaving *everything* to chance. As a side effect, this relaxes
the requirement of using ioctl() for identification with the possibility of
using task names as policy nodes.

It is possible to concurrently assign the same output (a character
device writer or an stm_source device) to different stm devices,
which sets off a strategically placed warning in stm_output_assign().
To avoid this, use a spinlock to serialize (un)assignments between
outputs and stm devices.

Currently, the list of stm_sources linked to an stm device is protected by
a spinlock, which also means that sources' .unlink() method is called under
this spinlock. However, this method may (and does) sleep, which means
trouble.
This patch slightly reworks locking around stm::link_list so that bits that
might_sleep() are called with a mutex held instead. Modification of this
list requires both mutex and spinlock to be held, while looking at the list
can be done under either mutex or spinlock.

Source device's link is protected with srcu, mark it as such to have
proper build-time validation of accesses to this field. The update
side that's dereferencing it under an update lock also needs an
accessor to dereference this field to keep sparse happy.

A System Trace Module (STM) is a device exporting data in System Trace
Protocol (STP) format as defined by MIPI STP standards. Examples of such
devices are Intel(R) Trace Hub and Coresight STM.
This abstraction provides a unified interface for software trace sources
to send their data over an STM device to a debug host. In order to do
that, such a trace source needs to be assigned a pair of master/channel
identifiers that all the data from this source will be tagged with. The
STP decoder on the debug host side will use these master/channel tags to
distinguish different trace streams from one another inside one STP
stream.
This abstraction provides a configfs-based policy management mechanism
for dynamic allocation of these master/channel pairs based on trace
source-supplied string identifier. It has the flexibility of being
defined at runtime and at the same time (provided that the policy
definition is aligned with the decoding end) consistency.
For userspace trace sources, this abstraction provides write()-based and
mmap()-based (if the underlying stm device allows this) output mechanism.
For kernel-side trace sources, we provide "stm_source" device class that
can be connected to an stm device at run time.
