Bryan O'Donoghue 8e3fba55d3 greybus: loopback: Add asynchronous backoff ...

A specific request from the firmware people is the ability to back-off from
sending more asynchronous operations once a specific number of operations
are in-flight.

This patch adds that ability - with a new sysfs parameter
'outstanding_operations_max' which controls the maximum number of
operations that can be outstanding/in-flight at any time.

When outstanding_operations_max contains a non-zero value and asynchronous
operations are being used - we will back-off until the completion counter
is < outstanding_operations_max. Tested in both synchronous and
asynchronous mode and with gb_loopback_connection_exit() interrupting
in-flight operations.
