Subject: [PATCH 01/10] gpiolib: provide gpiochip_dup_line_label()

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@...aro.org>

gpiochip_is_requested() not only has a misleading name but it returns
a pointer to a string that is freed when the descriptor is released.

Provide a new helper meant to replace it, which returns a copy of the
label string instead.
