pinctrl: Allow modules to use pinctrl_[un]register_mappings



Currently only the drivers/pinctrl/devicetree.c code allows registering
pinctrl-mappings which may later be unregistered, all other mappings
are assumed to be permanent.

Non-dt platforms may also want to register pinctrl mappings from code which
is build as a module, which requires being able to unregister the mapping
when the module is unloaded to avoid dangling pointers.

To allow unregistering the mappings the devicetree code uses 2 internal
functions: pinctrl_register_map and pinctrl_unregister_map.

pinctrl_register_map allows the devicetree code to tell the core to
not memdup the mappings as it retains ownership of them and
pinctrl_unregister_map does the unregistering, note this only works
when the mappings where not memdupped.

The only code relying on the memdup/shallow-copy done by
pinctrl_register_mappings is arch/arm/mach-u300/core.c this commit
replaces the __initdata with const, so that the shallow-copy is no
longer necessary.

After that we can get rid of the internal pinctrl_unregister_map function
and just use pinctrl_register_mappings directly everywhere.

This commit also renames pinctrl_unregister_map to
pinctrl_unregister_mappings so that its naming matches its
pinctrl_register_mappings counter-part and exports it.

Together these 2 changes will allow non-dt platform code to
register pinctrl-mappings from modules without breaking things on
module unload (as they can now unregister the mapping on unload).
