Subject: kfifo: add DEFINE_KFIFO and friends, add very tiny functions
From: Stefani Seibold <stefani@seibold.net>

 Add DECLARE_KFIFO - macro to declare a kfifo and the associated buffer inside a struct
 Add INIT_KFIFO - Initialize a kfifo declared by DECLARED_KFIFO
 Add DEFINE_KFIFO - macro to define and initialize a kfifo as a global or local object
 Add kfifo_size() - returns the size of the fifo in bytes
 Add kfifo_is_empty() - returns true if the fifo is empty
 Add kfifo_is_full() - returns true if the fifo is full
 Add kfifo_avail() - returns the number of bytes available in the FIFO
 Do some code cleanup
