ptp: vmclock: support device notifications

Add optional support for device notifications in VMClock. When
supported, the hypervisor will send a device notification every time it
updates the seq_count to a new even value.

Moreover, add support for poll() in VMClock as a means to propagate this
notification to user space. poll() will return a POLLIN event to
listeners every time seq_count changes to a value different than the one
last seen (since open() or last read()/pread()). This means that when
poll() returns a POLLIN event, listeners need to use read() to observe
what has changed and update the reader's view of seq_count. In other
words, after a poll() returned, all subsequent calls to poll() will
immediately return with a POLLIN event until the listener calls read().

The device advertises support for the notification mechanism by setting
flag VMCLOCK_FLAG_NOTIFICATION_PRESENT in vmclock_abi flags field. If
the flag is not present the driver won't setup the ACPI notification
handler and poll() will always immediately return POLLHUP.
