While events can already be enabled and disabled via the generic request
IOCTL, this bypasses the internal reference counting mechanism of the
controller. Due to that, disabling an event will turn it off regardless
of any other client having requested said event, which may break
functionality of that client.
To solve this, add IOCTLs wrapping the ssam_controller_event_enable()
and ssam_controller_event_disable() functions, which have been
previously introduced for this specific purpose.

Currently, debugging unknown events requires writing a custom driver.
This is somewhat difficult, slow to adapt, and not entirely
user-friendly for quickly trying to figure out things on devices of some
third-party user. We can do better. We already have a user-space
interface intended for debugging SAM EC requests, so let's add support
for receiving events to that.
This commit provides support for receiving events by reading from the
controller file. It additionally introduces two new IOCTLs to control
which event categories will be forwarded. Specifically, a user-space
client can specify which target categories it wants to receive events
from by registering the corresponding notifier(s) via the IOCTLs and
after that, read the received events by reading from the controller
device.
