Ian Abbott d1b3b9c70e comedi: kcomedilib: Add loop checking variants of open and close
Add `comedi_open_from(path, from)` and `comedi_close_from(dev, from)` as
variants of the existing `comedi_from(path)` and `comedi_close(dev)`.
The additional `from` parameter is a minor device number that tells the
function that the COMEDI device is being opened or closed from another
COMEDI device if the value is in the range [0,
`COMEDI_NUM_BOARD_MINORS`-1].  In that case the function will refuse to
open the device if it would lead to a chain of devices opening each
other.  (It will also impose a limit on the number of simultaneous opens
from one device to another because we need to count those.)

The new functions are intended to be used by the "comedi_bond" driver,
which is the only driver that uses the existing `comedi_open()` and
`comedi_close()` functions.  The new functions will be used to avoid
some possible deadlock situations.

Replace the existing, exported `comedi_open()` and `comedi_close()`
functions with inline wrapper functions that call the newly exported
`comedi_open_from()` and `comedi_close_from()` functions.
