optee: ffa_abi: add asynchronous notifications



Adds support for asynchronous notifications from OP-TEE in secure world
when communicating via FF-A. In principle from OP-TEE and kernel driver
point of view this works in the same way as for the SMC ABI based
implementation.

The OP-TEE FF-A ABI is expanded in OPTEE_FFA_EXCHANGE_CAPABILITIES with
the capability OPTEE_FFA_SEC_CAP_ASYNC_NOTIF to indicate that OP-TEE
supports asynchronous notifications. OPTEE_FFA_ENABLE_ASYNC_NOTIF is
also added to tell that the driver has successfully initialized these
notifications.

Notification capability is negotiated while the driver is initialized.
If both sides supports these notifications then they are enabled.

The notification concept in this driver is merged with the FF-A concept,
the lower 64 values are reserved for FF-A as asynchronous notifications
while the synchronous notifications use the higher values.

So a FF-A notification has to be allocated for each discrete
asynchronous notification value needed. Only one asynchronous
notification value is used at the moment, the "do bottom half"
notification.
