A function type is typically defined as
typedef ret_type (*func)(args..)
but async_func_ptr is not. Redefine it.
Also rename async_func_ptr to async_func_t for _func_t suffix is more generic.

Async kept single global pending list and per-domain running lists.
When an async item is queued, it's put on the global pending list.
The item is moved to the per-domain running list when its execution
starts.
At this point, this design complicates execution and synchronization
without bringing any benefit. The list only matters for
synchronization which doesn't care whether a given async item is
pending or executing. Also, global synchronization is done by
iterating through all active registered async_domains, so the global
async_pending list doesn't help anything either.
Rename async_domain->running to async_domain->pending and put async
items directly there and remove when execution completes. This
simplifies lowest_in_progress() a lot - the first item on the pending
list is the one with the lowest cookie, and async_run_entry_fn()
doesn't have to mess with moving the item from pending to running.
After the change, whether a domain is empty or not can be trivially
determined by looking at async_domain->pending. Remove
async_domain->count and use list_empty() on pending instead.

In the beginning, running lists were literal struct list_heads. Later
on, struct async_domain was added. For some reason, while the
conversion substituted list_heads with async_domains, the variable
names weren't fully converted. In more places, "running" was used for
struct async_domain while other places adopted new "domain" name.
The situation is made much worse by having async_domain's running list
named "domain" and async_entry's field pointing to async_domain named
"running".
So, we end up with mix of "running" and "domain" for variable names
for async_domain, with the field names of async_domain and async_entry
swapped between "running" and "domain".
It feels almost intentionally made to be as confusing as possible.
Bring some sanity by
* Renaming all async_domain variables "domain".
* s/async_running/async_dfl_domain/
* s/async_domain->domain/async_domain->running/
* s/async_entry->running/async_entry->domain/

This function queries whether %current is an async worker executing an
async item. This will be used to implement warning on synchronous
request_module() from async workers.

In response to an async related regression James noted:
"My theory is that this is an init problem: The assumption in a lot of
our code is that async_synchronize_full() waits for everything ... even
the domain specific async schedules, which isn't true."
...so make this assumption true.
Each domain, including the default one, registers itself on a global domain
list when work is scheduled. Once all entries complete it exits that
list. Waiting for the list to be empty syncs all in-flight work across
all domains.
Domains can opt-out of global syncing if they are declared as exclusive
ASYNC_DOMAIN_EXCLUSIVE(). All stack-based domains have been declared
exclusive since the domain may go out of scope as soon as the last work
item completes.
Statically declared domains are mostly ok, but async_unregister_domain()
is there to close any theoretical races with pending
async_synchronize_full waiters at module removal time.

This is in preparation for teaching async_synchronize_full() to sync all
pending async work, and not just on the async_running domain. This
conversion is functionally equivalent, just embedding the existing list
in a new async_domain type.
The .registered attribute is used in a later patch to distinguish
between domains that want to be flushed by async_synchronize_full()
versus those that only expect async_synchronize_{full|cookie}_domain to
be used for flushing.

Right now, most of the kernel boot is strictly synchronous, such that
various hardware delays are done sequentially.
In order to make the kernel boot faster, this patch introduces
infrastructure to allow doing some of the initialization steps
asynchronously, which will hide significant portions of the hardware delays
in practice.
In order to not change device order and other similar observables, this
patch does NOT do full parallel initialization.
Rather, it operates more in the way an out of order CPU does; the work may
be done out of order and asynchronous, but the observable effects
(instruction retiring for the CPU) are still done in the original sequence.
