gpiolib: hold gpio devices lock until ->descs array is initialised
If a driver consuming the GPIO chip is being probed at the same time as the GPIO driver is registering the chip, it is possible for the consuming driver to see the ->descs array in an uninitialised state. For example, the gpio-keys-polled driver can fail like this: kernel: gpiod_request: invalid GPIO (no device) kernel: gpio-keys-polled PRP0001:07: failed to get gpio: -22 kernel: gpio-keys-polled: probe of PRP0001:07 failed with error -22 This patch makes gpiochip_add() hold the lock protecting gpio_devices until it has finished setting desc->gdev on the newly inserted list entry.
