Add an I2C bus driver for virtio para-virtualization.

The controller can be emulated by the backend driver in
any device model software by following the virtio protocol.

This driver communicates with the backend driver through a
virtio I2C message structure which includes following parts:

- Header: i2c_msg addr, flags, len.
- Data buffer: the pointer to the i2c msg data.
- Status: the processing result from the backend.

People may implement different backend drivers to emulate
different controllers according to their needs. A backend
example can be found in the device model of the open source
project ACRN. For more information, please refer to
https://projectacrn.org.

The virtio device ID 34 is used for this I2C adpter since IDs
before 34 have been reserved by other virtio devices.
Seems it's slightly different version to what I have reviewed internally.
My comments below. (I admit that some of them maybe new)

Yeah... Some new devices have been added into the virtio spec during these days.

As Misha noticed and somewhere I saw 0-day reports these should be carefully
taken care of.

...

Sure. Will fix these.

OK.

And so on.

And this conditional seems a dup of the for-loop successfully iterating over
entire queue.
You are right.
We may save several lines of code by using "Return (ret<0) ? ret : i" at the end.


+err_unlock_free:
Redundant.
OK.
+ mutex_unlock(&vi->i2c_lock);
+ kfree(vmsg_o->buf);
+ kfree(vmsg_o);

+ Blank line.
OK.

Usually we do clean up followed by message.
I will change the order. Thank you.
