The new challenge is to remove VLAs from the kernel
(see https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/7/621) to eventually
turn on -Wvla.
Using a kmalloc array is the easy way to fix this but kmalloc is still
more expensive than stack allocation. Introduce a fast path with a
fixed size stack array to cover most chip with gpios below some fixed
amount. The slow path dynamically allocates an array to cover those
chips with a large number of gpios.

v5: Dropped some outdated comments and extra whitespace. Switched to
ARCH_NR_GPIOS per suggestion of Linus Walleij.

Previously it looks like just mask was zeroed.
So could this just be:
memset(mask, 0, BITS_TO_LONGS(chip->ngpio));
I'm guessing it's not a huge additional overhead as it is, but it's more in line with what was there.
