Subject: [PATCH 1/2] gpiolib: call gcdev_unregister() sooner in the removal operations

When gpio chip device is removed while some related gpio are used by the
user-space, the following warning can appear:
  remove_proc_entry: removing non-empty directory 'irq/233', leaking at least 'gpiomon'
  WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 72 at fs/proc/generic.c:717 remove_proc_entry+0x190/0x19c
  ...
  Call trace:
    remove_proc_entry+0x190/0x19c
    unregister_irq_proc+0xd0/0x104
    free_desc+0x4c/0xc4
    irq_free_descs+0x6c/0x90
    irq_dispose_mapping+0x104/0x14c
    gpiochip_irqchip_remove+0xcc/0x1a4
    gpiochip_remove+0x48/0x100
  ...

Indeed, the gpio cdev uses an IRQ but this IRQ is not released
(irq_free() call) before the call to gpiochip_irqchip_remove().

In order to give a chance to the gpio dev driver to release this
irq before removing the IRQ mapping, notify the cdev driver about
the gpio device removal before the gpiochip_irqchip_remove() call.
