Subject: [PATCH] gpiolib: notify user-space about line status changes after flags are set

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bgolaszewski@...libre.com>

Currently we emit the REQUESTED line state event after the line is
requested but before the flags are configured. This is obviously wrong
as we want to pass the updated lineinfo to user-space together with the
event.

Since the flags can be configured in different ways depending on how the
line is being requested - we need to call the notifier chain in different
places separately.

Fixes: 51c1064e82e7 ("gpiolib: add new ioctl() for monitoring changes in line info")

This comes late in the release cycle but I only recently got down to
writing libgpiod support for this new ioctl(). When writing test cases
I noticed this doesn't really work as expected. This patch fixes the
issue I identified this week. There may be more coming the following
week though...
