Currently most code to get child count in kernel are almost same,
add a helper to implement this function for dt to use.

Hi Rob,

Since my imx pinctrl driver series still depends on the pinctrl core dt
binding patch which is still not in mainline, i'd like this pure dt patch
go separately first in case others want to use.

changes v2->v3:
Addressed some people's comments:
* do not use assignment as expression
* return 0 for non-dt case

Changes v1->v2:
* change the name from of_get_child_number to of_get_child_count
