An iterator variable cannot be NULL in its loop.

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.
