Call to rpmsg_ctrldev_ioctl() and rpmsg_ctrldev_remove() must be synchronized.
In present code rpmsg_ctrldev_remove() is not protected with lock, therefore
new char device creation can succeed through rpmsg_ctrldev_ioctl() call. At the
same time call to rpmsg_ctrldev_remove() function for ctrl device removal will
free associated rpdev device. As char device creation already succeeded, user
space is free to issue open() call which maps to rpmsg_create_ept() in kernel.
rpmsg_create_ept() function tries to reference rpdev which has already been
freed through rpmsg_ctrldev_remove(). Issue is predominantly seen in aggressive
reboot tests where rpmsg_ctrldev_ioctl() and rpmsg_ctrldev_remove() can race with
each other.
Adding lock in rpmsg_ctrldev_remove() avoids any new char device creation
through rpmsg_ctrldev_ioctl() while remove call is already in progress.

Allow the user space application to create and release an rpmsg device
by adding RPMSG_CREATE_DEV_IOCTL and RPMSG_RELEASE_DEV_IOCTL ioctrls to
the /dev/rpmsg_ctrl interface
The RPMSG_CREATE_DEV_IOCTL Ioctl can be used to instantiate a local rpmsg
device.
Depending on the back-end implementation, the associated rpmsg driver is
probed and a NS announcement can be sent to the remote processor.
The RPMSG_RELEASE_DEV_IOCTL allows the user application to release a
rpmsg device created either by the remote processor or with the
RPMSG_CREATE_DEV_IOCTL call.
Depending on the back-end implementation, the associated rpmsg driver is
removed and a NS destroy rpmsg can be sent to the remote processor.

The rpmsg_chrdev driver has been replaced by the rpmsg_ctrl driver
for the /dev/rpmsg_ctrlX devices management. The reference for the
driver override is now the rpmsg_ctrl.
Update the rpmsg_chrdev_register_device function to reflect the update,
and rename the function to use the rpmsg_ctrldev prefix.
The platform drivers are updated accordingly.

Create the rpmsg_ctrl.c module and move the code related to the
rpmsg_ctrldev device in this new module.
Add the dependency between rpmsg_char and rpmsg_ctrl in the
kconfig file:
1) RPMSG_CTRL can set as module or built-in if
RPMSG=y || RPMSG_CHAR=y || RPMSG_CHAR=n
2) RPMSG_CTRL can not be set as built-in if
RPMSG=m || RPMSG_CHAR=m
Note that RPMGH_CHAR and RPMSG_CTRL can be activated separately.
Therefore, the RPMSG_CTRL configuration must be set for backwards compatibility.
