Subject: [PATCH 3.18 137/183] gpio: fix sleep-while-atomic in gpiochip_remove

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johan Hovold <johan@...nel.org>

commit 6798acaa0138d8b12f1c54402ebcb66fea3deb03 upstream.

Move direct and indirect calls to gpiochip_remove_pin_ranges outside of
spin lock as they can end up taking a mutex in pinctrl_remove_gpio_range.

Note that the pin ranges are already added outside of the lock.

Fixes: 9ef0d6f7628b ("gpiolib: call pin removal in chip removal function")
Fixes: f23f1516b675 ("gpiolib: provide provision to register pin ranges")
