Jason Gunthorpe 840cfb7cf5 fwctl: FWCTL_RPC to execute a Remote Procedure Call to device firmware ...

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.
