Subject: [PATCH v10 01/20] gpiolib: cdev: gpio_desc_to_lineinfo() should set info offset

Set the value of the line info offset in gpio_desc_to_lineinfo(), rather
than relying on it being passed in the info.  This makes the function
behave as you would expect from the name - it generates the line info
corresponding to a given GPIO desc.

There are some instances where this results in the offset being set when
it is already set in the info, but this is clearer especially considering
that, as part of the replacement of strncpy with strscpy and to ensure
kernel stack cannot be leaked to userspace, the info is initially zeroed
in a subsequent patch.
