[PATCH 2/2] gpiolib: pin GPIO devices in place during descriptor lookup

[Bartosz Golaszewski]

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@xxxxxxxxxx>

There's time between when we locate the relevant descriptor during
lookup and when we actually take the reference to its parent GPIO
device where - if the GPIO device in question is removed - we'll end up
with a dangling pointer to freed memory. Make sure devices cannot be
removed until we hold a new reference to the device.
