OF: DT-Overlay configfs interface (v8)

Add a runtime interface to using configfs for generic device tree overlay
usage. With it its possible to use device tree overlays without having
to use a per-platform overlay manager.

Please see Documentation/devicetree/configfs-overlays.txt for more info.

Changes since v7:
- Xilinx alignment
- of: configfs: Fix error handling from of_overlay_create()
- of: configfs: lock while resolving and applying
- of: configfs: Fix memory leak in create overlay
- of: configfs: Fix compilation warning
- of: configfs: Use of_overlay_fdt_apply API call

Changes since v6:
- Default groups properties API changed.

Changes since v5:
- New style configfs.

Changes since v4:
- Loading fix for multiple overlays as found out by
  Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org>

Changes since v3:
- Fixed compilation on SPARC & Xtensa

Changes since v2:
- Removed ifdef CONFIG_OF_OVERLAY (since for now it's required)
- Created a documentation entry
- Slight rewording in Kconfig

Changes since v1:
- of_resolve() -> of_resolve_phandles().

+Howto use the configfs overlay interface.
+
+A device-tree configfs entry is created in /config/device-tree/overlays
+and and it is manipulated using standard file system I/O.
+Note that this is a debug level interface, for use by developers and
+not necessarily something accessed by normal users due to the
+security implications of having direct access to the kernel's device tree.
+
+* To create an overlay you mkdir the directory:
+
+	# mkdir /config/device-tree/overlays/foo
+
+* Either you echo the overlay firmware file to the path property file.
+
+	# echo foo.dtbo >/config/device-tree/overlays/foo/path
+
+* Or you cat the contents of the overlay to the dtbo file
+
+	# cat foo.dtbo >/config/device-tree/overlays/foo/dtbo
+
+The overlay file will be applied, and devices will be created/destroyed
+as required.
+
+To remove it simply rmdir the directory.
+
+	# rmdir /config/device-tree/overlays/foo
+
+The rationalle of the dual interface (firmware & direct copy) is that each is
+better suited to different use patterns. The firmware interface is what's
+intended to be used by hardware managers in the kernel, while the copy interface
+make sense for developers (since it avoids problems with namespaces).
