[PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 161/183] gpio: sysfs: fix gpio attribute-creation race

[Luis Henriques]

3.16.7-ckt8 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit ebbeba120ab2ec6ac5f3afc1425ec6ff0b77ad6f upstream.

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

Fixes: d8f388d8dc8d ("gpio: sysfs interface")

[ luis: backported to 3.16:
  - all changes in drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c
  - adjusted context ]
