[PATCH v2 1/2] mailbox: check mailbox queue is full or not

[Tanmay Shah <tanmay.shah@amd.com>]

Sometimes clients need to know if mailbox queue is full or not before
posting new message via mailbox. If mailbox queue is full clients can
choose not to post new message. This doesn't mean current queue length
should be increased, but clients may want to wait till previous Tx is
done. Introduce variable per channel to track available msg slots.
Clients can check this variable and decide not to send new message if
it is 0. This  can help avoid false positive warning from mailbox
framework "Try increasing MBOX_TX_QUEUE_LEN".

v2:
  - Separate patch for remoteproc subsystem.
  - Change design and introduce msg_slot_ro field for each channel
    instead of API. Clients can use this variable directly.
  - Remove mbox_queue_full API
