gpiolib: fix the speed of descriptor label setting with SRCU
Commit 1f2bcb8c ("gpio: protect the descriptor label with SRCU") caused a massive drop in performance of requesting GPIO lines due to the call to synchronize_srcu() on each label change. Rework the code to not wait until all read-only users are done with reading the label but instead atomically replace the label pointer and schedule its release after all read-only critical sections are done. To that end wrap the descriptor label in a struct that also contains the rcu_head struct required for deferring tasks using call_srcu() and stop using kstrdup_const() as we're required to allocate memory anyway. Just allocate enough for the label string and rcu_head in one go.
