[PATCH v2 1/3] gpio: introduce utilities for synchronous fake device creation

[Koichiro Den <koichiro.den@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Both gpio-sim and gpio-virtuser share a mechanism to instantiate a
platform device, wait for probe completion, and retrieve the probe
success or error status synchronously. With gpio-aggregator planned to
adopt this approach for its configfs interface, it's time to factor
out the common code.

Add dev-sync-probe.[ch] to house helper functions used by all such
implementations.

No functional change.
