Subject: [PATCH] selftests: gpio: gpio-aggregator: add a test case for _sysfs prefix reservation

The kernel doc for gpio-aggregator configfs interface, which was recently
added, states that users should not be able to create an aggregator with a
name prefixed by "_sysfs" via configfs. However, it was found that this
guard does not function as expected (thanks to Dan Carpenter for
identifying and fixing the issue).

Add a test case to verify the guard.
