Move all client-private data out of `struct kcs_bmc` into the KCS client implementation. With this change the KCS BMC core code now only concerns itself with abstract `struct kcs_bmc` and `struct kcs_bmc_client` types, achieving expected separation of concerns. Further, the change clears the path for implementation of alternative userspace interfaces. The chardev data-structures are rearranged in the same manner applied to the KCS device driver data-structures in an earlier patch - `struct kcs_bmc_client` is embedded in the client's private data and we exploit container_of() to translate as required. Finally, now that it is free of client data, `struct kcs_bmc` is renamed to `struct kcs_bmc_device` to contrast `struct kcs_bmc_client`.

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 Restructured Text 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.
