Subject: [PATCH v4 4/6] tee: add tee_dev_open_helper() primitive

Adds tee_dev_open_helper() and tee_dev_ctx_put() to make it easier to
create a driver internal struct tee_context without the usual
tee_device_get() on the struct tee_device as that adds a circular
reference counter dependency and would prevent the struct tee_device
from ever being released again.
