Usage of counter_register() yields issues in device lifetime tracking. All
drivers were converted to the new API, so the old one can go away.

The current implementation gets device lifetime tracking wrong. The
problem is that allocation of struct counter_device is controlled by the
individual drivers but this structure contains a struct device that
might have to live longer than a driver is bound. As a result a command
sequence like:
{ sleep 5; echo bang; } > /dev/counter0 &
sleep 1;
echo 40000000.timer:counter > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/stm32-timer-counter/unbind
can keep a reference to the struct device and unbinding results in
freeing the memory occupied by this device resulting in an oops.
This commit provides two new functions (plus some helpers):
- counter_alloc() to allocate a struct counter_device that is
automatically freed once the embedded struct device is released
- counter_add() to register such a device.
Note that this commit doesn't fix any issues, all drivers have to be
converted to these new functions to correct the lifetime problems.

For now this just wraps accessing struct counter_device::priv. However
this is about to change and converting drivers to this helper
individually makes fixing device lifetime issues result in easier to
review patches.

A race condition is possible when writing to events_queue_size where the
events kfifo is freed during the execution of a kfifo_in(), resulting in
a use-after-free. This patch prevents such a scenario by protecting the
events queue in operation with a spinlock and locking before performing
the events queue size adjustment.
The existing events_lock mutex is renamed to events_out_lock to reflect
that it only protects events queue out operations. Because the events
queue in operations can occur in an interrupt context, a new
events_in_lock spinlock is introduced and utilized.

This removes the chrdev_lock from the counter subsystem. This was
intended to prevent opening the chrdev more than once. However, this
doesn't work in practice since userspace can duplicate file descriptors
and pass file descriptors to other processes. Since this protection
can't be relied on, it is best to just remove it.

This patch introduces a character device interface for the Counter
subsystem. Device data is exposed through standard character device read
operations. Device data is gathered when a Counter event is pushed by
the respective Counter device driver. Configuration is handled via ioctl
operations on the respective Counter character device node.

This is a reimplementation of the Generic Counter driver interface.
There are no modifications to the Counter subsystem userspace interface,
so existing userspace applications should continue to run seamlessly.
The purpose of this patch is to internalize the sysfs interface code
among the various counter drivers into a shared module. Counter drivers
pass and take data natively (i.e. u8, u64, etc.) and the shared counter
module handles the translation between the sysfs interface and the
device drivers. This guarantees a standard userspace interface for all
counter drivers, and helps generalize the Generic Counter driver ABI in
order to support the Generic Counter chrdev interface (introduced in a
subsequent patch) without significant changes to the existing counter
drivers.
Note, Counter device registration is the same as before: drivers
populate a struct counter_device with components and callbacks, then
pass the structure to the devm_counter_register function. However,
what's different now is how the Counter subsystem code handles this
registration internally.
Whereas before callbacks would interact directly with sysfs data, this
interaction is now abstracted and instead callbacks interact with native
C data types. The counter_comp structure forms the basis for Counter
extensions.
The counter-sysfs.c file contains the code to parse through the
counter_device structure and register the requested components and
extensions. Attributes are created and populated based on type, with
respective translation functions to handle the mapping between sysfs and
the counter driver callbacks.
The translation performed for each attribute is straightforward: the
attribute type and data is parsed from the counter_attribute structure,
the respective counter driver read/write callback is called, and sysfs
I/O is handled before or after the driver read/write function is called.

The phrase "Counter Count function" is verbose and unintentionally
implies that function is a Count extension. This patch adjusts the
Counter subsystem code to use the more direct "Counter function" phrase
to make the intent of this code clearer.

This patch introduces the Generic Counter interface for supporting
counter devices.
In the context of the Generic Counter interface, a counter is defined as
a device that reports one or more "counts" based on the state changes of
one or more "signals" as evaluated by a defined "count function."
Driver callbacks should be provided to communicate with the device: to
read and write various Signals and Counts, and to set and get the
"action mode" and "count function" for various Synapses and Counts
respectively.
To support a counter device, a driver must first allocate the available
Counter Signals via counter_signal structures. These Signals should
be stored as an array and set to the signals array member of an
allocated counter_device structure before the Counter is registered to
the system.
Counter Counts may be allocated via counter_count structures, and
respective Counter Signal associations (Synapses) made via
counter_synapse structures. Associated counter_synapse structures are
stored as an array and set to the the synapses array member of the
respective counter_count structure. These counter_count structures are
set to the counts array member of an allocated counter_device structure
before the Counter is registered to the system.
A counter device is registered to the system by passing the respective
initialized counter_device structure to the counter_register function;
similarly, the counter_unregister function unregisters the respective
Counter. The devm_counter_register and devm_counter_unregister functions
serve as device memory-managed versions of the counter_register and
counter_unregister functions respectively.
