Subject: [PATCH v2] gpiolib: fix race condition for gdev->srcu
From: Paweł Narewski <pawel.narewski@...ia.com>
If two drivers were calling gpiochip_add_data_with_key(), one may be
traversing the srcu-protected list in gpio_name_to_desc(), meanwhile
other has just added its gdev in gpiodev_add_to_list_unlocked().
This creates a non-mutexed and non-protected timeframe, when one
instance is dereferencing and using &gdev->srcu, before the other
has initialized it, resulting in crash:

Move initialization code for gdev fields before it is added to
gpio_devices, with adjacent initialization code.
Adjust goto statements to reflect modified order of operations
