Subject: [PATCH v6 0/2] lib/string_helpers: Introduce parse_int_array_user()

Continuation of recent upstream discussion [1] regarding user string
tokenization.

First, parse_int_array_user() is introduced to allow for splitting
specified user string into a sequence of integers. Makes use of
get_options() internally so the parsing logic is not duplicated.

With that done, redundant parts of the sound driver are removed.

Originally similar functionality was added for the SOF sound driver. As
more users are on the horizon, it is desirable to update existing
string_helpers code and provide a unified solution.


Changes in v6:
- minor improvements in SOF code: dropped superfluous array-empty checks
  as suggested by Andy

Changes in v5:
- fixed kernel doc for parse_int_array_user()

Changes in v4:
- renamed the function to parse_int_array_user()
- at the name several local variable names have been reworded to match
  the above

Changes in v3:
- relocated tokenize_user_input() implementation to string_helpers as
  requested by Matthew

Changes in v2:
- reused get_options() so no parsing logic is duplicated
- simplified __user variant with help of memdup_user_nul()
  Both suggested by Andy, thanks for thorough review
