Subject: [PATCH v2] lib/string-choice: add yesno(), onoff(), enableddisabled(), plural() helpers

The kernel has plenty of ternary operators to choose between constant
strings, such as condition ? "yes" : "no", as well as value == 1 ? "" :
"s":

$ git grep '? "yes" : "no"' | wc -l
258
$ git grep '? "on" : "off"' | wc -l
204
$ git grep '? "enabled" : "disabled"' | wc -l
196
$ git grep '? "" : "s"' | wc -l
25

Additionally, there are some occurences of the same in reverse order,
split to multiple lines, or otherwise not caught by the simple grep.

Add helpers to return the constant strings. Remove existing equivalent
and conflicting functions in i915, cxgb4, and USB core. Further
conversion can be done incrementally.

While the main goal here is to abstract recurring patterns, and slightly
clean up the code base by not open coding the ternary operators, there
are also some space savings to be had via better string constant
pooling.

v2: add string-choice.[ch] to not clutter kernel.h and to actually save
space on string constants.

Example of further cleanup possibilities are at [1], to be done
incrementally afterwards.
