Enable and disable hardware feedback interface (HFI) when user space handler is present. For example, enable HFI, when intel-speed-select or Intel Low Power daemon is running and subscribing to thermal netlink events. When user space handlers exit or remove subscription for thermal netlink events, disable HFI. Summary of changes: - Register a thermal genetlink notifier - In the notifier, process THERMAL_NOTIFY_BIND and THERMAL_NOTIFY_UNBIND reason codes to count number of thermal event group netlink multicast clients. If thermal netlink group has any listener enable HFI on all packages. If there are no listener disable HFI on all packages. - When CPU is online, instead of blindly enabling HFI, check if the thermal netlink group has any listener. This will make sure that HFI is not enabled by default during boot time. - Actual processing to enable/disable matches what is done in suspend/resume callbacks. Create two functions hfi_enable_instance() and hfi_disable_instance(), which can be called from the netlink notifier callback and suspend/resume callbacks.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
