[RFC PATCH 1/3] xarray: Introduce devm_xa_init()

[ira.weiny@intel.com]

From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@intel.com>

Many devices may have arrays of resources which are allocated with
device managed functions.  The objects referenced by the XArray are
therefore automatically destroyed without the need for the XArray.

Introduce devm_xa_init() which takes care of the destruction of the
XArray meta data automatically as well.

The main issue I see with this is defining devm_xa_init() in device.h.
This makes sense because a device is required to use the call.  However,
I'm worried about if users will find the call there vs including it in
xarray.h?
