s390/vfio-ap: Provide access to queue objects and related info

This commit provides functions to access vfio_ap_queue objects and to return
the number of queues passed through to a guest. It makes an existing queue
retrieval function non-static, adds a lockdep assertion, and introduces a
new function to count the total queues.

[Severity: Medium]
Since the total number of AP queues is determined by the Cartesian product of
the set bits in these two matrices, could this be calculated more efficiently
without a nested loop?

For example, utilizing bitmap_weight() would avoid the iterations entirely:
bitmap_weight(ap_matrix->apm, AP_DEVICES) * bitmap_weight(ap_matrix->aqm, AP_DOMAINS)

The current nested loop executes an iteration for every set bit combination 
while holding the mdevs_lock, whereas the bitmap_weight approach would achieve
the same result in a few word-level popcount operations.
