gpio: remove gpio_lock

The "multi-function" gpio_lock is pretty much useless with how it's used
in GPIOLIB currently. Because many GPIO API calls can be called from all
contexts but may also call into sleeping driver callbacks, there are
many places with utterly broken workarounds like yielding the lock to
call a possibly sleeping function and then re-acquiring it again without
taking into account that the protected state may have changed.

It was also used to protect several unrelated things: like individual
descriptors AND the GPIO device list. We now serialize access to these
two with SRCU and so can finally remove the spinlock.

There is of course the question of consistency of lockless access to
GPIO descriptors. Because we only support exclusive access to GPIOs
(officially anyway, I'm looking at you broken
GPIOD_FLAGS_BIT_NONEXCLUSIVE bit...) and the API contract with providers
does not guarantee serialization, it's enough to ensure we cannot
accidentally dereference an invalid pointer and that the state we present
to both users and providers remains consistent. To achieve that: read the
flags field atomically except for a few special cases. Read their current
value before executing callback code and use this value for any subsequent
logic. Modifying the flags depends on the particular use-case and can
differ. For instance: when requesting a GPIO, we need to set the
REQUESTED bit immediately so that the next user trying to request the
same line sees -EBUSY.

While at it: the allocations that used GFP_ATOMIC until this point can
now switch to GFP_KERNEL.
