firmware: arm_ffa: Add support for MEM_LEND

As part of the FF-A spec, an endpoint is allowed to transfer access of,
or lend, a memory region to one or more borrowers.

Extend the existing memory sharing implementation to support
FF-A MEM_LEND functionality and expose this to other kernel drivers.

Note that upon a successful MEM_LEND request the caller must ensure that
the memory region specified is not accessed until a successful
MEM_RECALIM call has been made. On systems with a hypervisor present
this will been enforced, however on systems without a hypervisor the
responsibility falls to the calling kernel driver to prevent access.
