Subject: i3c: master: Reject IBI requests from non-IBI-capable devices

This commit adds a capability check before allowing devices to set up IBI
requests. It fails with -EOPNOTSUPP if the device does not advertise IBI
support, ensuring consistency with other IBI features.

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but does the error path in
i3c_dev_request_ibi_locked() leak the workqueue?

When master->ops->request_ibi() fails, the previously allocated workqueue
appears to be orphaned:

drivers/i3c/master.c:i3c_dev_request_ibi_locked() {
    ...
	ibi->wq = alloc_ordered_workqueue(dev_name(...), WQ_MEM_RECLAIM);
	if (!ibi->wq) {
        ...
	}
    ...
	ret = master->ops->request_ibi(dev, req);
	if (ret) {
		kfree(ibi);
		dev->ibi = NULL;
	}
    ...
}

Can this leave the wq and its associated rescue worker thread permanently
leaked since destroy_workqueue() is never called before kfree(ibi)?
