Add the FWCTL_RPC ioctl which allows a request/response RPC call to device
firmware. Drivers implementing this call must follow the security
guidelines under Documentation/userspace-api/fwctl.rst
The core code provides some memory management helpers to get the messages
copied from and back to userspace. The driver is responsible for
allocating the output message memory and delivering the message to the
device.

Userspace will need to know some details about the fwctl interface being
used to locate the correct userspace code to communicate with the
kernel. Provide a simple device_type enum indicating what the kernel
driver is.
Allow the device to provide a device specific info struct that contains
any additional information that the driver may need to provide to
userspace.

Each file descriptor gets a chunk of per-FD driver specific context that
allows the driver to attach a device specific struct to. The core code
takes care of the memory lifetime for this structure.
The ioctl dispatch and design is based on what was built for iommufd. The
ioctls have a struct which has a combined in/out behavior with a typical
'zero pad' scheme for future extension and backwards compatibility.
Like iommufd some shared logic does most of the ioctl marshaling and
compatibility work and table dispatches to some function pointers for
each unique ioctl.
This approach has proven to work quite well in the iommufd and rdma
subsystems.
Allocate an ioctl number space for the subsystem.

Create the class, character device and functions for a fwctl driver to
un/register to the subsystem.
A typical fwctl driver has a sysfs presence like:
$ ls -l /dev/fwctl/fwctl0
crw------- 1 root root 250, 0 Apr 25 19:16 /dev/fwctl/fwctl0
$ ls /sys/class/fwctl/fwctl0
dev device power subsystem uevent
$ ls /sys/class/fwctl/fwctl0/device/infiniband/
ibp0s10f0
$ ls /sys/class/infiniband/ibp0s10f0/device/fwctl/
fwctl0/
$ ls /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0a.0/fwctl/fwctl0
dev device power subsystem uevent
Which allows userspace to link all the multi-subsystem driver components
together and learn the subsystem specific names for the device's
components.
