Implement a worker thread to replace the workqueue based
handling for clk arbiter update callbacks.
The work items scheduled with the thread are of two types,
update_vf_table and arb_update. Previously, there were two
workqueues for handling these two work struct's separately.
Now the single worker thread would process these two events.
If a work item of a particular type is scheduled to be run
on the worker, another instance of same type won't be
scheduled, which mirrors the linux workqueue behavior.
This also removes dependency on linux workqueues/work struct
and makes code portable to be used by QNX also.

RCU's are available only in (linux) kernel. Though they are
able to achieve lockless access in some specific scenarios,
they are heavily dependent on the kernel for their functionality.
E.g. synchronize_rcu(), which depends on the kernel in order to
delimit read side critical sections.
As such it is very difficult to implement constructs analogous
to RCUs in userspace code. As a result the code which depends on
RCU's for synchronization is not portable between OS'es,
especially if one of them is in userspace, viz. QNX.
Also, if the code is not in performance critical path, we can do
with non-RCU constructs.
For clk arbiter code here, RCU's are replaced by the traditional
spinlocks, so that the code could be used by QNX down the line.

Clk arbiter code contains two significant portions -
the one which interacts with userspace and is OS specific,
and the other which does the heavylifting work which can
be moved to the common OS agnostic code.
Split the code into two files in prep towards refactoring
the clk arbiter.
