[v7,10/11] bus: mhi: core: Introduce APIs to allocate and free the MHI controller

Commit Message

Client devices should use the APIs provided to allocate and free
the MHI controller structure. This will help ensure that the
structure is zero-initialized and there are no false positives
with respect to reading any values such as the serial number or
the OEM PK hash.
