[RFC v2 1/2] platform/x86: wmi: Allow retrieving the number of WMI object instances

[Armin Wolf]

Currently, the WMI driver core knows how many instances of a given
WMI object exist, but WMI drivers cannot access this information.
At the same time, some current and upcoming WMI drivers want to
have access to this information. Add wmi_instance_count() and
wmidev_instance_count() to allow WMI drivers to get the number of
WMI object instances.
