For interrupts from badly behaved hardware (as emulated by Syzbot), it
is possible for the Comedi core functions that manage the progress of
asynchronous data acquisition to be called from driver ISRs while no
asynchronous command has been set up, which can cause problems such as
invalid pointer dereferencing or dividing by zero.
To help protect against that, introduce new functions to maintain a
reference counter for asynchronous commands that are being set up.
`comedi_get_is_subdevice_running(s)` will check if a command has been
set up on a subdevice and is still marked as running, and if so will
increment the reference counter and return `true`, otherwise it will
return `false` without modifying the reference counter.
`comedi_put_is_subdevice_running(s)` will decrement the reference
counter and set a completion event when decremented to 0.
Change the `do_cmd_ioctl()` function (responsible for setting up the
asynchronous command) to reinitialize the completion event and set the
reference counter to 1 before it marks the subdevice as running. Change
the `do_become_nonbusy()` function (responsible for destroying a
completed command) to call `comedi_put_is_subdevice_running(s)` and wait
for the completion event after marking the subdevice as not running.
Because the subdevice normally gets marked as not running before the
call to `do_become_nonbusy()` (and may also be called when the Comedi
device is being detached from the low-level driver), add a new flag
`COMEDI_SRF_BUSY` to the set of subdevice run-flags that indicates that
an asynchronous command was set up and will need to be destroyed. This
flag is set by `do_cmd_ioctl()` and cleared and checked by
`do_become_nonbusy()`.
Subsequent patches will change the Comedi core functions that are called
from low-level drivers for asynchrous command handling to make use of
the `comedi_get_is_subdevice_running()` and
`comedi_put_is_subdevice_running()` functions, and will modify the ISRs
of some of these low-level drivers if they dereference the subdevice's
`async` pointer directly.

Now that all the code that accesses the Comedi buffer data does so
page-by-page, using the `virt_addr` member of `struct comedi_buf_page`
to point to the data of each page, do not linearly map the buffer into
vmalloc address space (pointed to by the `prealloc_buf` member of
`struct comedi_async`). That was only done for convenience, but was not
done for those drivers that need a DMA coherent buffer, which is
allocated in a single chunk. Remove the `prealloc_buf` member as it is
no longer used.

Move the main COMEDI driver headers out of "drivers/comedi/" into new
directory "include/linux/comedi/". These are "comedidev.h",
"comedilib.h", "comedi_pci.h", "comedi_pcmcia.h", and "comedi_usb.h".
Additionally, move the user-space API header "comedi.h" into
"include/uapi/linux/" and add "WITH Linux-syscall-note" to its
SPDX-License-Identifier.
Update the "COMEDI DRIVERS" section of the MAINTAINERS file to account
for these changes.
