nvmem: core: Rework layouts to become regular devices

Current layout support was initially written without modules support in
mind. When the requirement for module support rose, the existing base
was improved to adopt modularization support, but kind of a design flaw
was introduced. With the existing implementation, when a storage device
registers into NVMEM, the core tries to hook a layout (if any) and
populates its cells immediately. This means, if the hardware description
expects a layout to be hooked up, but no driver was provided for that,
the storage medium will fail to probe and try later from
scratch. Even if we consider that the hardware description shall be
correct, we could still probe the storage device (especially if it
contains the rootfs).

One way to overcome this situation is to consider the layouts as
devices, and leverage the native notifier mechanism. When a new NVMEM
device is registered, we can populate its nvmem-layout child, if any,
and wait for the matching to be done in order to get the cells (the
waiting can be easily done with the NVMEM notifiers). If the layout
driver is compiled as a module, it should automatically be loaded. This
way, there is no strong order to enforce, any NVMEM device creation
or NVMEM layout driver insertion will be observed as a new event which
may lead to the creation of additional cells, without disturbing the
probes with costly (and sometimes endless) deferrals.

In order to achieve that goal we create a new bus for the nvmem-layouts
with minimal logic to match nvmem-layout devices with nvmem-layout
drivers. All this infrastructure code is created in the layouts.c file.
