Laurent Pinchart 5680fe45d6 media: mc-entity: Add a new helper function to get a remote pad
The media_entity_remote_pad_first() helper function returns the first
remote pad it finds connected to a given pad. Beside being possibly
non-deterministic (as it stops at the first enabled link), the fact that
it returns the first match makes it unsuitable for drivers that need to
guarantee that a single link is enabled, for instance when an entity can
process data from one of multiple sources at a time.

For those use cases, add a new helper function,
media_entity_remote_pad_unique(), that operates on an entity and returns
a remote pad, with a guarantee that only one link is enabled. To ease
its use in drivers, also add an inline wrapper that locates source pads
specifically. A wrapper that locates sink pads can easily be added when
needed.
