scsi: cxlflash: Introduce host ioctl support
As staging for supporting various host management functions, add a host ioctl infrastructure to filter ioctl commands and perform operations that are common for all host ioctls. Also update the cxlflash documentation to create a new section for documenting host ioctls. Signed-off-by: Matthew R.

+CXL Flash Driver Host IOCTLs
+============================
+
+ Each host adapter instance that is supported by the cxlflash driver
+ has a special character device associated with it to enable a set of
+ host management function. These character devices are hosted in a
+ class dedicated for cxlflash and can be accessed via /dev/cxlflash/*.

+ Applications can be written to perform various functions using the
