[media] media: Entity use count

Due to the wide differences between drivers regarding power management
needs, the media controller does not implement power management.
However, the media_entity structure includes a use_count field that
media drivers can use to track the number of users of every entity for
power management needs.

The use_count field is owned by media drivers and must not be touched by
entity drivers. Access to the field must be protected by the media
device graph_mutex lock.
