It occurred to me that none of my tests cover this case, as they always
request edges with the consumer set, so I added some and can confirm both
the problem and the fix.

In the process I found another bug - we overlooked setting up the irq
label in debounce_setup() - the alternate path in edge_detector_setup()
that performs sw debounce.  That results in a double free of the
req->label and memory corruption hilarity follows.

I've got a patch for that - the unfortunate part being that
debounce_setup() is earlier in the file than make_irq_label() and
free_irq_label().  Those will need to be pushed earlier, so it is
sure to conflict with this patch.
How would you prefer to proceed?

Cheers,
Kent.
