interconnect: Add interconnect_graph file to debugfs

Browse Source 
The interconnect graphs can be difficult to understand and the current
"interconnect_summary" file doesn't even display links in any way.

Add a new "interconnect_graph" file to debugfs in the graphviz "dot"
format which describes interconnect providers, nodes and links.

The file is human-readable and can be visualized by piping through
graphviz. Example:

ssh $TARGET cat /sys/kernel/debug/interconnect/interconnect_graph \
	| dot -Tsvg > interconnect_graph.svg

for these interconnect paths. These interfaces are not currently
documented.
Interconnect debugfs interfaces
-------------------------------
Like several other subsystems interconnect will create some files for debugging
and introspection. Files in debugfs are not considered ABI so application
software shouldn't rely on format details change between kernel versions.
``/sys/kernel/debug/interconnect/interconnect_summary``:
Show all interconnect nodes in the system with their aggregated bandwidth
request. Indented under each node show bandwidth requests from each device.
``/sys/kernel/debug/interconnect/interconnect_graph``:
Show the interconnect graph in the graphviz dot format. It shows all
interconnect nodes and links in the system and groups together nodes from the
same provider as subgraphs. The format is human-readable and can also be piped
through dot to generate diagrams in many graphical formats::
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/interconnect/interconnect_graph | \
dot -Tsvg > interconnect_graph.svg
