9eac2788d7 Makefile: use common Make definition for UDEVDIR and UDEVRULESDIR
UDEVDIR is used in both `chreipl-fcp-mpath` and `zdev`, but with a
different meaning. In the former it points to the base udev directory,
not the rules directory; in the later it points to the rules directory.
If someone was to call `make` from the top level directory, and set
UDEVDIR for the whole build/installation, it would either break `zdev`
or `chreipl-fcp-mpath` (depending on what it was set to).

Fix this by pulling the definition of it in the shared `common.mak`
file, and giving it a common meaning. Point UDEVDIR to the base udev
directory, and UDEVRULESDIR to the rules directory below it.

Semantically nothing changes for a default build/installation.

3949c62f6f zdev: Add auto-config for PCI and crypto devices
PCI and crypto devices defined using the IBM Z Dynamic Partition Manager
(DPM) will start in an offline/unconfigured state that requires manual
intervention before the associated Linux function can be used. This
results for example in PCI networking interfaces being unavailable in a
distribution installer system.

Fix this by providing a udev rule and initial RAM-disk logic that
automatically enables PCI and crypto devices either during boot, or when
they are defined at run-time. This processing can be suppressed by
specifying the "rd.zdev=no-auto" parameter on the kernel command line.

Auto-configuration is limited to Linux running in DPM LPARs because
PCI-functions and crypto devices defined by DPM are always intended for
use by a single LPAR only.

For Linux running in classic-mode LPARs or virtual machines, leaving PCI
and crypto devices in an offline state may be useful to allow defining a
device as available to multiple systems, where only the system that
intends to make use of the device should enable it.
