Subject: [PATCH 3.18 139/183] gpio: sysfs: fix gpio device-attribute leak

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

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

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

commit 0915e6feb38de8d3601819992a5bd050201a56fa upstream.

The gpio device attributes were never destroyed when the gpio was
unexported (or on export failures).

Use device_create_with_groups() to create the default device attributes
of the gpio class device. Note that this also fixes the
attribute-creation race with userspace for these attributes.

Remove contingent attributes in export error path and on unexport.

Fixes: d8f388d8dc8d ("gpio: sysfs interface")
