Subject: [PATCH 1/2] gpio: Fix crash in gpiod_set_debounce()

Return an error if neither the ->set() nor the ->set_debounce() function
is implemented by the chip. Furthermore move locking further down so the
lock doesn't have to be unlocked on error. This is safe to do because at
this point the lock doesn't protect anything.
