[PATCH] gpio: drop lock before reading GPIO direction

[Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@xxxxxxxxxx>]

When adding the gpiochip, the GPIO HW drivers' callback get_direction()
could get called in atomic context. Some of the GPIO HW drivers may
sleep when accessing the register.

Move the lock before initializing the descriptors.
