Subject: [PATCH v6 01/16] chardev: factor out cdev_lookup() helper

Create a new helper out of the code in chrdev_open() which looks up
a struct cdev from a struct inode.

This will be necessary to create a cdev_get_by_path() which is
similar to blkdev_get_by_path() and is required to allow NVMe-OF
passthru to lookup an NVMe controller cdev from a path.
