Subject: [PATCH v2 7/8] bus: brcmstb_gisb: add notifier handling

Check for GISB arbitration errors through a chained notifier
when a process dies or a kernel panic occurs.  This allows a
meaningful diagnostic message to occur along with other
diagnostic information.

Notably writes to a bad GISB address on an ARM64 architecture
kernel cause unrecoverable SError aborts and this allows the
cause of the abort to be seen.
