Subject: [PATCH v9 05/20] gpiolib: make cdev a build option

Make the gpiolib-cdev module a build option.  This allows the CDEV
interface to be removed from the kernel to reduce kernel size in
applications where is it not required, and provides the parent for
other CDEV interface specific build options to follow.
