There can be few cases when we need to shut-down the system in order to
protect the hardware. Currently this is done at east by the thermal core
when temperature raises over certain limit.
Some PMICs can also generate interrupts for example for over-current or
over-voltage, voltage drops, short-circuit, ... etc. On some systems
these are a sign of hardware failure and only thing to do is try to
protect the rest of the hardware by shutting down the system.
Add shut-down logic which can be used by all subsystems instead of
implementing the shutdown in each subsystem. The logic is stolen from
thermal_core with difference of using atomic_t instead of a mutex in
order to allow calls directly from IRQ context.

Changelog:
v8: (changes suggested by Daniel Lezcano)
- replace a protection implemented by a flag + spin_lock_irqsave() with
simple atomic_dec_and_test().
- Split thermal-core changes and adding the new API to separate patches
v7:
- New patch
