[media] media: Entities, pads and links enumeration
Create the following two ioctls and implement them at the media device
level to enumerate entities, pads and links.
- MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_ENTITIES: Enumerate entities and their properties
- MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_LINKS: Enumerate all pads and links for a given entity
Entity IDs can be non-contiguous. Userspace applications should
enumerate entities using the MEDIA_ENT_ID_FLAG_NEXT flag. When the flag
is set in the entity ID, the MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_ENTITIES will return the
next entity with an ID bigger than the requested one.
Only forward links that originate at one of the entity's source pads are
returned during the enumeration process.
