gpio: protect the pointer to gpio_chip in gpio_device with SRCU

Ensure we cannot crash if the GPIO device gets unregistered (and the
chip pointer set to NULL) during any of the API calls.

To that end: wait for all users of gdev->chip to exit their read-only
SRCU critical sections in gpiochip_remove().

For brevity: add a guard class which can be instantiated at the top of
every function requiring read-only access to the chip pointer and use it
in all API calls taking a GPIO descriptor as argument. In places where
we only deal with the GPIO device - use regular guard() helpers and
rcu_dereference() for chip access. Do the same in API calls taking a
const pointer to gpio_desc.
