rfkill: add notifier chains support

Add a notifier chain for use by the rfkill class.  This notifier chain
signals the following events (more to be added when needed):

  1. rfkill: rfkill device state has changed

A pointer to the rfkill struct will be passed as a parameter.

The notifier message types have been added to include/linux/rfkill.h
instead of to include/linux/notifier.h in order to avoid the madness of
modifying a header used globally (and that triggers an almost full tree
rebuild every time it is touched) with information that is of interest only
to code that includes the rfkill.h header.
