Make sure to release any irq only after the class device has been deregistered. This avoids a race between gpiod_unexport and edge_store, where an irq could be allocated just before the gpio class device is deregistered without relying on FLAG_EXPORT and the global sysfs lock. Note that there is no need to hold the sysfs lock when releasing the irq after the class device is gone as kernfs will prevent further attribute operations.
