gpiolib: protect the GPIO device against being dropped while in use by user-space
While any of the GPIO cdev syscalls is in progress, the kernel can call
gpiochip_remove() (for instance, when a USB GPIO expander is disconnected)
which will set gdev->chip to NULL after which any subsequent access will
cause a crash.
To avoid that: use an RW-semaphore in which the syscalls take it for
reading (so that we don't needlessly prohibit the user-space from calling
syscalls simultaneously) while gpiochip_remove() takes it for writing so
that it can only happen once all syscalls return.
Fixes: d7c51b47ac11 ("gpio: userspace ABI for reading/writing GPIO lines")
Fixes: 3c0d9c635ae2 ("gpiolib: cdev: support GPIO_V2_GET_LINE_IOCTL and GPIO_V2_LINE_GET_VALUES_IOCTL")
Fixes: aad955842d1c ("gpiolib: cdev: support GPIO_V2_GET_LINEINFO_IOCTL and GPIO_V2_GET_LINEINFO_WATCH_IOCTL")
Fixes: a54756cb24ea ("gpiolib: cdev: support GPIO_V2_LINE_SET_CONFIG_IOCTL")
Fixes: 7b8e00d98168 ("gpiolib: cdev: support GPIO_V2_LINE_SET_VALUES_IOCTL")
