[PATCH RFC net-next 2/4] net: pse-pd: add notifier chain for controller lifecycle events

[Corey Leavitt via B4 Relay]

From: Corey Leavitt <corey@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Introduce a blocking notifier chain that allows other subsystems to be
informed when a PSE controller is registered or unregistered, and
provide pse_register_notifier() / pse_unregister_notifier() as the
subscriber interface.

Subsequent patches will use this to let the phy subsystem own the
phydev->psec lifecycle directly, decoupling PSE lookup from
fwnode_mdiobus_register_phy() and removing the probe-time
-EPROBE_DEFER coupling that currently exists between mdio, phy and
pse-pd when the PSE controller driver is modular.

A blocking chain (rather than atomic) is used because callbacks will
take rtnl_lock and call back into pse_core via of_pse_control_get().

The enum pse_controller_event is placed outside the
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PSE_CONTROLLER) guard so that subscribers compiled
into a kernel without PSE support can still reference the event
values in dead-code paths without breaking the build.

This patch is pure infrastructure: nothing fires events yet, and
nothing subscribes. No observable behavior change.
