Subject: [PATCH v1 1/2] gpiolib: Never return internal error codes to user space

Currently it's possible that character device interface may return
the error codes which are not supposed to be seen by user space.
In this case it's EPROBE_DEFER.

Wrap it to return -ENODEV instead as sysfs does.

Fixes: d7c51b47ac11 ("gpio: userspace ABI for reading/writing GPIO lines")
Fixes: 61f922db7221 ("gpio: userspace ABI for reading GPIO line events")
Fixes: 3c0d9c635ae2 ("gpiolib: cdev: support GPIO_V2_GET_LINE_IOCTL and GPIO_V2_LINE_GET_VALUES_IOCTL")
