Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] gpiolib: remove the GPIO device from the list when it's unregistered

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

If we wait until the GPIO device's .release() callback gets invoked
before we remove it from the global device list, then we risk that
someone will look it up using gpio_device_find() between where we
dropped the last reference and before .release() is done taking a
reference again to an object that's being released.

The device must be removed when it's being unregistered - just like how
we remove it from the GPIO bus.

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