devlink: support directly reading from region memory

To read from a region, user space must currently request a new snapshot of
the region and then read from that snapshot. This can sometimes be overkill
if user space only reads a tiny portion. They first create the snapshot,
then request a read, then destroy the snapshot.

For regions which have a single underlying "contents", it makes sense to
allow supporting direct reading of the region data.

Extend the DEVLINK_CMD_REGION_READ to allow direct reading from a region if
requested via the new DEVLINK_ATTR_REGION_DIRECT. If this attribute is set,
then perform a direct read instead of using a snapshot. Direct read is
mutually exclusive with DEVLINK_ATTR_REGION_SNAPSHOT_ID, and care is taken
to ensure that we reject commands which provide incorrect attributes.

Regions must enable support for direct read by implementing the .read()
callback function. If a region does not support such direct reads, a
suitable extended error message is reported.

the ``DEVLINK_CMD_REGION_NEW`` request kernel will allocate one and send
the snapshot information to user space.
Regions may optionally allow directly reading from their contents without a
snapshot. Direct read requests are not atomic. In particular a read request
of size 256 bytes or larger will be split into multiple chunks. If atomic
access is required, use a snapshot. A driver wishing to enable this for a
region should implement the ``.read`` callback in the ``devlink_region_ops``
structure. User space can request a direct read by using the
``DEVLINK_ATTR_REGION_DIRECT`` attribute instead of specifying a snapshot
id.

As regions are likely very device or driver specific, no generic regions are
defined. See the driver-specific documentation files for information on the
specific regions a driver supports.
