Some race conditions were raised due to dell-smbios and its backends
not being ready by the time that a consumer would call one of the
exported methods.
To avoid this problem, guarantee that all initialization has been
done by linking them all together and running init for them all.
As part of this change the Kconfig needs to be adjusted so that
CONFIG_DELL_SMBIOS_SMM and CONFIG_DELL_SMBIOS_WMI are boolean
rather than modules.
CONFIG_DELL_SMBIOS is a visually selectable option again and both
CONFIG_DELL_SMBIOS_WMI and CONFIG_DELL_SMBIOS_SMM are optional.

It's important for the driver to provide a R/W ioctl to ensure that
two competing userspace processes don't race to provide or read each
others data.
This userspace character device will be used to perform SMBIOS calls
from any applications.
It provides an ioctl that will allow passing the WMI calling
interface buffer between userspace and kernel space.
This character device is intended to deprecate the dcdbas kernel module
and the interface that it provides to userspace.
To perform an SMBIOS IOCTL call using the character device userspace will
perform a read() on the the character device. The WMI bus will provide
a u64 variable containing the necessary size of the IOCTL buffer.
The API for interacting with this interface is defined in documentation
as well as the WMI uapi header provides the format of the structures.
Not all userspace requests will be accepted. The dell-smbios filtering
functionality will be used to prevent access to certain tokens and calls.
All whitelisted commands and tokens are now shared out to userspace so
applications don't need to define them in their own headers.

When a userspace interface is introduced to dell-smbios filtering
support will be used to make sure that userspace doesn't make calls
deemed unsafe or that can cause the kernel drivers to get out of
sync.
A blacklist is provided for the following:
- Items that are in use by other kernel drivers
- Items that are deemed unsafe (diagnostics, write-once, etc)
- Any items in the blacklist will be rejected.
Following that a whitelist is provided as follows:
- Each item has an associated capability. If a userspace interface
accesses this item, that capability will be tested to filter
the request.
- If the process provides CAP_SYS_RAWIO the whitelist will be
overridden.
When an item is not in the blacklist, or whitelist and the process
is run with insufficient capabilities the call will be rejected.

WSMT is as an attestation to the OS that the platform won't
modify memory outside of pre-defined areas.
If a platform has WSMT enabled in BIOS setup, SMM calls through
dcdbas will fail. The only way to access platform data in these
instances is through the WMI SMBIOS calling interface.

This splits up the dell-smbios driver into two drivers:
* dell-smbios
* dell-smbios-smm
dell-smbios can operate with multiple different dispatcher drivers to
perform SMBIOS operations.
Also modify the interface that dell-laptop and dell-wmi use align to this
model more closely. Rather than a single global buffer being allocated
for all drivers, each driver will allocate and be responsible for it's own
buffer. The pointer will be passed to the calling function and each
dispatcher driver will then internally copy it to the proper location to
perform it's call.
Add defines for calls used by these methods in the dell-smbios.h header
for tracking purposes.

There are several cases where events handled in one of the dell-* drivers
need to be propagated to another dell-* driver.
This commit adds 3 generic functions:
dell_laptop_register_notifier()
dell_laptop_unregister_notifier()
dell_laptop_call_notifier()
It currently only defines 1 action:
DELL_LAPTOP_KBD_BACKLIGHT_BRIGHTNESS_CHANGED
Which is intended to propagate kbd_backlight_brightness_changed wmi
events from dell-wmi to dell-laptop (which contains the actual kbd
backlight driver).
These functions are put in dell-smbios as both dell-wmi and dell-laptop
use smbios functions and I do not want to put the notifier head in
either driver, as that will make the 2 drivers depend on each other.
