misc: fastrpc: fix use-after-free of fastrpc_user in workqueue context

There is a race between fastrpc_device_release() and the workqueue
that processes DSP responses. When the user closes the file descriptor,
fastrpc_device_release() frees the fastrpc_user structure. Concurrently,
an in-flight DSP invocation can complete and fastrpc_rpmsg_callback()
schedules context cleanup via schedule_work(&ctx->put_work). If the
workqueue runs fastrpc_context_free() in parallel with or after
fastrpc_device_release() has freed the user structure, it dereferences
the freed fastrpc_user. Depending on the state of the context at the
time of the race, any one of the following accesses can be hit:

 1. fastrpc_buf_free() calls fastrpc_ipa_to_dma_addr(buf->fl->cctx, ...)
    to strip the SID bits from the stored IOVA before passing the
    physical address to dma_free_coherent().

 2. fastrpc_free_map() reads map->fl->cctx->vmperms[0].vmid to
    reconstruct the source permission bitmask needed for the
    qcom_scm_assign_mem() call that returns memory from the DSP VM
    back to HLOS.

 3. fastrpc_free_map() acquires map->fl->lock to safely remove the
    map node from the fl->maps list.

The resulting use-after-free manifests as:

  pc : fastrpc_buf_free+0x38/0x80 [fastrpc]
  lr : fastrpc_context_free+0xa8/0x1b0 [fastrpc]
  fastrpc_context_free+0xa8/0x1b0 [fastrpc]
  fastrpc_context_put_wq+0x78/0xa0 [fastrpc]
  process_one_work+0x180/0x450
  worker_thread+0x26c/0x388

Add kref-based reference counting to fastrpc_user. Have each invoke
context take a reference on the user at allocation time and release it
when the context is freed. Release the initial reference in
fastrpc_device_release() at file close. Move the teardown of the user
structure — freeing pending contexts, maps, mmaps, and the channel
context reference — into the kref release callback fastrpc_user_free(),
so that it runs only when the last reference is dropped, regardless of
whether that happens at device close or after the final in-flight
context completes.
