Fix attribute-creation race with userspace by using the default group
to create also the contingent gpio device attributes.

The gpio device attributes were never destroyed when the gpio was
unexported (or on export failures).
Use device_create_with_groups() to create the default device attributes
of the gpio class device. Note that this also fixes the
attribute-creation race with userspace for these attributes.
Remove contingent attributes in export error path and on unexport.

The gpio-chip device attributes were never destroyed when the device was
removed.
Fix by using device_create_with_groups() to create the device attributes
of the chip class device.
Note that this also fixes the attribute-creation race with userspace.

Although gpiod_get_direction() can be considered side-effect free for
consumers, its internals involve setting or clearing bits in the
affected GPIO descriptor, for which we need to force-cast the const
descriptor variable to non-const. This could lead to incorrect behavior
if the compiler decides to optimize here, so remove this const
attribute. The intent is to make gpiod_get_direction() private anyway,
so it does not really matter.

This function actually operates on a gpio_chip, so its prefix should
reflect that fact for consistency with other functions defined in
gpio/driver.h.

gpio_lock/unlock_as_irq() are working with (chip, offset) arguments and
are thus not using the old integer namespace. Therefore, there is no
reason to have gpiod variants of these functions working with
descriptors, especially since the (chip, offset) tuple is more suitable
to the users of these functions (GPIO drivers, whereas GPIO descriptors
are targeted at GPIO consumers).

For some reason gpiochip_export() would invalidate all the descriptors
of a chip if exporting it to sysfs failed. This does not appear as
necessary. Remove that part of the code.
While we are at it, add a note about the non-safety of temporarily
releasing a spinlock in the middle of the loop that protects its
iterator, and explain why this is done.

sysfs support is currently entangled within the core GPIO support, while
it should relly just be a (privileged) user of the integer GPIO API.
This patch is a first step towards making the gpiolib code more readable
by splitting it into logical parts.
Move all sysfs support to their own source file, and share static
members of gpiolib that need to be in the private gpiolib.h file. In
the future we will want to put some of them back into gpiolib.c, but this
first patch let us at least identify them.
