[PATCH v8 08/25] char/nvram: Implement NVRAM read/write methods

Refactor the RTC "CMOS" NVRAM functions so that they can be used as
arch_nvram_ops methods. Checksumming logic is moved from the misc device
operations to the nvram read/write operations.

This makes the misc device implementation more generic. This also
preserves the locking semantics such that "read if checksum valid" and
"write and update checksum" remain atomic operations.

Some platforms implement byte-range read/write methods which are similar
to file_operations struct methods. Other platforms provide only
byte-at-a-time functions. The misc device driver prefers to use the
former but will fall back on the latter.

Changed since v7:
 - Use memdup_user(), like arch/powerpc/kernel/nvram_64.c.
