kfifo: add kfifo_out_linear{,_ptr}()
These are helpers which are going to be used in the serial layer. We
need a wrapper around kfifo which provides us with a tail (sometimes
"tail" offset, sometimes a pointer) to the kfifo data. And which returns
count of available data -- but not larger than to the end of the buffer
(hence _linear in the names). I.e. something like CIRC_CNT_TO_END() in
the legacy circ_buf.
This patch adds such two helpers.
