[PATCH 1/2 v2] gpio: gpio-grgpio: fix possible sleep-in-atomic-context bugs in grgpio_remove()

_raw_spin_lock_irqsave in grgpio_remove

mutex_lock() can sleep at runtime.

To fix these bugs, the lock is dropped in grgpio_remove(), because there
is no need for locking in remove() callbacks.

These bugs are found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by
myself.

v2:
* Drop the lock instead of moving the calls to lock functions.
Thank Bartosz for good advice.
