Andrew Boie 8345e5ebf0 syscalls: remove policy from handler checks
The various macros to do checks in system call handlers all
implictly would generate a kernel oops if a check failed.
This is undesirable for a few reasons:

* System call handlers that acquire resources in the handler
  have no good recourse for cleanup if a check fails.
* In some cases we may want to propagate a return value back
  to the caller instead of just killing the calling thread,
  even though the base API doesn't do these checks.

These macros now all return a value, if nonzero is returned
the check failed. K_OOPS() now wraps these calls to generate
a kernel oops.

At the moment, the policy for all APIs has not changed. They
still all oops upon a failed check/

The macros now use the Z_ notation for private APIs.

Leandro Pereira c200367b68 drivers: Perform a runtime check if a driver is capable of an operation
Driver APIs might not implement all operations, making it possible for
a user thread to get the kernel to execute a function at 0x00000000.

Perform runtime checks in all the driver handlers, checking if they're
capable of performing the requested operation.

Fixes #6907.

Andrew Boie ce6c8f347b dma: add system calls for dma_start/dma_stop
As per current policy of requiring supervisor mode to register
callbacks, dma_config() is omitted.

A note added about checking the channel ID for start/stop, current
implementations already do this but best make it explicitly
documented.
