drm/lima: Add optional devfreq and cooling device support

Most platforms with a Mali-400 or Mali-450 GPU also have support for
changing the GPU clock frequency. Add devfreq support so the GPU clock
rate is updated based on the actual GPU usage when the
"operating-points-v2" property is present in the board.dts.

The actual devfreq code is taken from panfrost_devfreq.c and modified so
it matches what the lima hardware needs:
- a call to dev_pm_opp_set_clkname() during initialization because there
are two clocks on Mali-4x0 IPs. "core" is the one that actually clocks
the GPU so we need to control it using devfreq.
- locking when reading or writing the devfreq statistics because (unlike
than panfrost) we have multiple PP and GP IRQs which may finish jobs
concurrently.

drm/lima: add trace point for tasks

track lima task start which can be combined with
dma_fence_signal to identify task execution time.

example command to record:

trace-cmd record -i \
-e "lima:lima_task_submit" -e "lima:lima_task_run" \
-e "*fence:*fence_signaled" -e "drm:drm_vblank_event" \
-e "drm:drm_vblank_event_queued" sleep 4

drm/lima: use drm_gem_shmem_helpers

Do not need to maintain our own shmem memory management
code as drm_gem_shmem_helpers provides it. And we can
also benifit from the work of others with shared code.

This is also a preparation for implementing buffer madv.

drm/lima: driver for ARM Mali4xx GPUs

- Mali 4xx GPUs have two kinds of processors GP and PP. GP is for
OpenGL vertex shader processing and PP is for fragment shader
processing. Each processor has its own MMU so prcessors work in
virtual address space.
- There's only one GP but multiple PP (max 4 for mali 400 and 8
for mali 450) in the same mali 4xx GPU. All PPs are grouped
togather to handle a single fragment shader task divided by
FB output tiled pixels. Mali 400 user space driver is
responsible for assign target tiled pixels to each PP, but mali
450 has a HW module called DLBU to dynamically balance each
PP's load.
- User space driver allocate buffer object and map into GPU
virtual address space, upload command stream and draw data with
CPU mmap of the buffer object, then submit task to GP/PP with
a register frame indicating where is the command stream and misc
settings.
- There's no command stream validation/relocation due to each user
process has its own GPU virtual address space. GP/PP's MMU switch
virtual address space before running two tasks from different
user process. Error or evil user space code just get MMU fault
or GP/PP error IRQ, then the HW/SW will be recovered.
- Use GEM+shmem for MM. Currently just alloc and pin memory when
gem object creation. GPU vm map of the buffer is also done in
the alloc stage in kernel space. We may delay the memory
allocation and real GPU vm map to command submission stage in the
furture as improvement.
- Use drm_sched for GPU task schedule. Each OpenGL context should
have a lima context object in the kernel to distinguish tasks
from different user. drm_sched gets task from each lima context
in a fair way.
