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.
