firewire: cdev: add ioctls for manual iso resource management
This adds ioctls for allocation and deallocation of a channel or/and bandwidth without auto-reallocation and without auto-deallocation. The benefit of these ioctls is that libraw1394-style isochronous resource management can be implemented without write access to the IRM's character device file.
