Since these functions are related to sysfs, wouldn't
gpiochip_sysfs_export (or gpiochip_sysfs_register, although the former
sounds better to me) be even more descriptive?

The renaming should probably also cover the non-static gpiod_*
functions of gpiolib-sysfs.c which are equally ambiguous. Basically
anything non-static from gpiolib-sysfs.c should have that prefix.
