Drivers like thinkpad_acpi and ideapad_laptop call the
platform_profile_notify() helper when the profile is changed by hardware
(the embedded-controller/EC) in response to an EC handled hotkey.
This allows userspace to monitor for such changes by polling for POLLPRI
on the platform_profile sysfs file. But the profile can also be changed
underneath a userspace program monitoring it by anonther userspace program
storing a new value.
Add a sysfs_notify() call to platform_profile_store(), so that userspace
programs monitoring for changes also get notified in this case.
Also update the documentation to document that POLLPRI polling can be
used to watch for changes.

Some devices, including most Microsoft Surface devices, have a platform
profile somewhere inbetween balanced and performance. More specifically,
adding this profile allows the following mapping on Surface devices:
Vendor Name Platform Profile
------------------------------------------
Battery Saver low-power
Recommended balanced
Better Performance balanced-performance
Best Performance performance

After a rmmod thinkpad_acpi, lockdep pointed out this possible deadlock:
Our _show and _store sysfs attr functions get called with the kn->active
lock held for the sysfs attr and then take the profile_lock.
sysfs_remove_group() also takes the kn->active lock for the sysfs attr,
so if we call it with the profile_lock held, then we get an ABBA deadlock.
platform_profile_remove() must only be called by drivers which have
first *successfully* called platform_profile_register(). Anything else
is a driver bug. So the check for cur_profile being set before calling
sysfs_remove_group() is not necessary and it can be dropped.
It is safe to call sysfs_remove_group() without holding the profile_lock
since the attr-group group cannot be re-added until after we clear
cur_profile.
Change platform_profile_remove() to only hold the profile_lock while
clearing the cur_profile, fixing the deadlock.

Drop the const qualifier from the static global cur_profile
pointer declaration.
This is a preparation patch for passing the cur_profile pointer as
parameter to the profile_get() and profile_set() callbacks so that
drivers dynamically allocating their driver-data struct, with their
platform_profile_handler struct embedded, can use this pointer to
get to their driver-data.
Note this also requires dropping the const from the pprof
platform_profile_register() function argument. Dropping this
const is not a problem, non of the queued up consumers of
platform_profile_register() actually pass in a const pointer.

This is the initial implementation of the platform-profile feature.
It provides the details discussed and outlined in the
sysfs-platform_profile document.
Many modern systems have the ability to modify the operating profile to
control aspects like fan speed, temperature and power levels. This
module provides a common sysfs interface that platform modules can register
against to control their individual profile options.
