This commit adds the cleaner shader microcode for GFX9.4.2 GPUs. The cleaner shader is a piece of GPU code that is used to clear or initialize certain GPU resources, such as Local Data Share (LDS), Vector General Purpose Registers (VGPRs), and Scalar General Purpose Registers (SGPRs). Clearing these resources is important for ensuring data isolation between different workloads running on the GPU. Without the cleaner shader, residual data from a previous workload could potentially be accessed by a subsequent workload, leading to data leaks and incorrect computation results. The cleaner shader microcode is represented as an array of 32-bit words (`gfx_9_4_2_cleaner_shader_hex`). This array is the binary representation of the cleaner shader code, which is written in a low-level GPU instruction set. Also, this patch updates the `gfx_v9_0_sw_init` function to initialize the cleaner shader if the MEC firmware version is 88 or higher. It sets the `cleaner_shader_ptr` and `cleaner_shader_size` to the appropriate values and attempts to initialize the cleaner shader. When the cleaner shader feature is enabled, the AMDGPU driver loads this array into a specific location in the GPU memory. The GPU then reads this memory location to fetch and execute the cleaner shader instructions. The cleaner shader is executed automatically by the GPU at the end of each workload, before the next workload starts. This ensures that all GPU resources are in a clean state before the start of each workload. This change ensures that the GPU memory is properly cleared between different processes, preventing data leakage and enhancing security. It also aligns with the serialization mechanism between KGD and KFD, ensuring that the GPU state is consistent across different workloads.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
