Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] gpiolib: cdev: guard tidying

This series contains some tidying up of gpiolib-cdev following the
recent adoption of guard().

The first patch is a fix to protect gpio_ioctl() from having the
gpio chip removed while the ioctl is in progress.

The next couple of patches are minor fixes inspired by recent
submissions and reviews for gpiolib.c.

Patch 2 adds a missing include.

Patch 3 switches allocation of struct linereq from kzalloc() to
kvzalloc() as it can be larger than one page - even more so after the
recent relocation of debounce_period_us.

The final two patches replace wrapper functions with guards.

Patch 4 tidies up the functions that use a guard on the linereq
config_mutex.

Patch 5 tidies up the functions that use a guard on the gpio_device.

Changes v1 -> v2:
 - add patch 1 to protect gpio_ioctl() from chip removal
 - improve commit comment (patch 3)
 - use guard(rwsem_read) rather than rolling our own (patch 5)

Cheers,
Kent.
