[PATCH] gpiolib: fix invalid pointer access in debugfs

[Bartosz Golaszewski]

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@xxxxxxxxxx>

If the memory allocation in gpiolib_seq_start() fails, the s->private
field remains uninitialized and is later dereferenced without checking
in gpiolib_seq_stop(). Initialize s->private to NULL before calling
kzalloc() and check it before dereferencing it.

Fixes: e348544f7994 ("gpio: protect the list of GPIO devices with SRCU")

This was brought to my attention by a person under sanctions. This is a
simplified version of their initial patch.
