media: mc-entity: Add a new helper function to get a remote pad
The media_entity_remote_pad_first() helper function returns the first remote pad it finds connected to a given pad. Beside being possibly non-deterministic (as it stops at the first enabled link), the fact that it returns the first match makes it unsuitable for drivers that need to guarantee that a single link is enabled, for instance when an entity can process data from one of multiple sources at a time. For those use cases, add a new helper function, media_entity_remote_pad_unique(), that operates on an entity and returns a remote pad, with a guarantee that only one link is enabled. To ease its use in drivers, also add an inline wrapper that locates source pads specifically. A wrapper that locates sink pads can easily be added when needed.
