Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] gpio: fix gpio-device list corruption

Make sure to hold the gpio_lock when removing the gpio device from the
gpio_devices list (when dropping the last reference) to avoid corrupting
the list when there are concurrent accesses.

Fixes: ff2b13592299 ("gpio: make the gpiochip a real device")
