firmware: arm_scmi: Add a virtio channel refcount
Currently SCMI VirtIO channels are marked with a ready flag and related lock to track channel lifetime and support proper synchronization at shutdown when virtqueues have to be stopped. This leads to some extended spinlocked sections with IRQs off on the RX path to keep hold of the ready flag and does not scale well especially when SCMI VirtIO polling mode will be introduced. Add an SCMI VirtIO channel dedicated refcount to track active users on both the TX and the RX path and properly enforce synchronization and cleanup at shutdown, inhibiting further usage of the channel once freed.
