Currently, the DPLL subsystem reports events (creation, deletion, changes)
to userspace via Netlink. However, there is no mechanism for other kernel
components to be notified of these events directly.

Add a raw notifier chain to the DPLL core protected by dpll_lock. This
allows other kernel subsystems or drivers to register callbacks and
receive notifications when DPLL devices or pins are created, deleted,
or modified.

Define the following:
- Registration helpers: {,un}register_dpll_notifier()
- Event types: DPLL_DEVICE_CREATED, DPLL_PIN_CREATED, etc.
- Context structures: dpll_{device,pin}_notifier_info to pass relevant
data to the listeners.

The notification chain is invoked alongside the existing Netlink event
generation to ensure in-kernel listeners are kept in sync with the
subsystem state.
