remoteproc: remove the get_by_name/put API

Browse source 
Remove rproc_get_by_name() and rproc_put(), and the associated
remoteproc infrastructure that supports it (i.e. klist and friends),
because:

1. No one uses them
2. Using them is highly discouraged, and any potential user
   will be deeply scrutinized and encouraged to move.

If a user, that absolutely can't live with the direct boot/shutdown
model, does show up one day, then bringing this functionality back
is going to be trivial.

At this point though, keeping this functionality around is way too
much of a maintenance burden.

Note: to use this function you should already have a valid rproc
handle. There are several ways to achieve that cleanly (devres, pdata,
the way remoteproc_rpmsg.c does this, or, if this becomes prevalent, we
might also consider using dev_archdata for this). See also
rproc_get_by_name() below.

This function increments the remote processor's refcount, so always
use rproc_put() to decrement it back once rproc isn't needed anymore.
Note: currently rproc_get_by_name() and rproc_put() are not used anymore
by the rpmsg bus and its drivers. We need to scrutinize the use cases
that still need them, and see if we can migrate them to use the non
name-based boot/shutdown interface.
void rproc_put(struct rproc *rproc)
- Decrement @rproc's power refcount and shut it down if it reaches zero
(essentially by just calling rproc_shutdown), and then decrement @rproc's
validity refcount too.
After this function returns, @rproc may _not_ be used anymore, and its
handle should be considered invalid.
This function should be called _iff_ the @rproc handle was grabbed by
