[PATCH v6 07/10] rpmsg: char: Add possibility to use default endpoint of the rpmsg device.

[Arnaud Pouliquen]

Current implementation create/destroy a new endpoint on each
rpmsg_eptdev_open/rpmsg_eptdev_release calls.

For a rpmsg device created by the NS announcement mechanism we need to
use a unique static endpoint that is the default rpmsg device endpoint
associated to the channel.

This patch prepares the introduction of a rpmsg channel device for the
char device. The rpmsg channel device will require a default endpoint to
communicate to the remote processor.

Add the default_ept field in rpmsg_eptdev structure.This pointer
determines the behavior on rpmsg_eptdev_open and rpmsg_eptdev_release call.

- If default_ept == NULL:
  Use the legacy behavior by creating a new endpoint each time
  rpmsg_eptdev_open is called and release it when rpmsg_eptdev_release
  is called on /dev/rpmsgX device open/close.

- If default_ept is set:
  use the rpmsg device default endpoint for the communication.

Address the update of _rpmsg_chrdev_eptdev_create in a separate patch for readability.

Add protection in rpmsg_eptdev_ioctl to prevent to destroy a default endpoint.

update vs previous version
 - replace static_ept boolean by default_ept endpoint pointer which
   can point to the default channel endpoint.
 - clean Reviewed-by and tested-by as code updated.
