[RFC PATCH 0/2] Add support for multiple versions to KHO

The format of the preserved-data blob that LUO saves to KHO is expected
to change as new features are added, bugs are fixed, etc. Currently,
LUO handles this by embedding a compatibility string into struct luo_ser
which can be used to compare two kernels. This works if the changes
between kernels are fundamentally incompatible. In a case where a new
feature is added, we may want to support both versions in the new
kernel to retain compatibility.

This series adds a KHO interface to embed multiple versions under a
single node in a subtree. 

We go from something like:

       / (Root Node)
       └── LUO (Legacy Parent Node)
           ├── preserved-data = <0xphys_luo>
           └── blob-size = <0xsize_luo>

To something like this:

       / (Root Node)
       └── LUO (Versioned Parent Node)
           ├── 1 (Version 1 Node)
           │   ├── preserved-data = <0xphys_luo_v1>
           │   └── blob-size = <0xsize_luo_v1>
           └── 2 (Version 2 Node)
               ├── preserved-data = <0xphys_luo_v2>
               └── blob-size = <0xsize_luo_v2>

We can also support mixed mode, allowing backwards compatibility in case
of a roll-back to a pre-multi version kernel:

       / (Root Node)
       └── LUO (Versioned Parent Node)
           ├── preserved-data = <0xphys_luo>
           ├── blob-size = <0xphys_luo>
           ├── 1 (Version 1 Node)
           │   ├── preserved-data = <0xphys_luo_v1>
           │   └── blob-size = <0xsize_luo_v1>
           └── 2 (Version 2 Node)
               ├── preserved-data = <0xphys_luo_v2>
               └── blob-size = <0xsize_luo_v2>

The first patch moves some common functionality for preserving a node
into a separate function. The second patch adds our new APIs. The third
patch adds support for multiple versions to the debugfs entries. The
forth patch adds new test cases to test_kho.
