Move cdev_alloc into linux_compat.c since it encodes the size of struct
linux_cdev into the client modules otherwise.

The check was not introduced in r342628, but the subsequent unchecked access to
refs was added then, prompting a Coverity warning about "Null pointer
dereferences (FORWARD_NULL)." The warning is bogus due to M_WAITOK, but so is
the NULL check that hints it, so just remove it.

the destroying cdev.
Currently linux_destroy_dev() waits for the reference count on the
linux cdev to drain, and each open file hold the reference.
Practically it means that linux_destroy_dev() is blocked until all
userspace processes that have the cdev open, exit. FreeBSD devfs does
not have such problem, because device refcount only prevents freeing
of the cdev memory, and separate 'active methods' counter blocks
destroy_dev() until all threads leave the cdevsw methods. After that,
attempts to enter cdevsw methods are refused with an error.
Implement somewhat similar mechanism for LinuxKPI cdevs. Demote cdev
refcount to only mean a hold on the linux cdev memory. Add sirefs
count to track both number of threads inside the cdev methods, and for
single-bit indicator that cdev is being destroyed. In the later case,
the call is redirected to the dummy cdev.

Make sure we hold a reference on the character device for every opened file
to prevent the character device to be freed prematurely.

wide enough to hold the full 64-bit dev_t. Instead use the "dev" field in
the "linux_cdev" structure to store and lookup this value.
While at it remove superfluous use of parenthesis inside the
MAJOR(), MINOR() and MKDEV() macros in the LinuxKPI.

- Declare some static functions in linux_compat.c instead if inside
various header files.
- Prefix FreeBSD local functions in the LinuxKPI with "linux_" to
avoid symbol name conflicts in the future and to make debugging
easier.
- Make the "struct kobj_ktype" declaractions constant to shave off a
few bytes from the data segment.

- Move all files related to the LinuxKPI into sys/compat/linuxkpi and
its subfolders.
- Update sys/conf/files and some Makefiles to use new file locations.
- Added description of COMPAT_LINUXKPI to sys/conf/NOTES which in turn
adds the LinuxKPI to all LINT builds.
- The LinuxKPI can be added to the kernel by setting the
COMPAT_LINUXKPI option. The OFED kernel option no longer builds the
LinuxKPI into the kernel. This was done to keep the build rules for
the LinuxKPI in sys/conf/files simple.
- Extend the LinuxKPI module to include support for USB by moving the
Linux USB compat from usb.ko to linuxkpi.ko.
- Bump the FreeBSD_version.
- A universe kernel build has been done.
