[PATCH] gpio: convince line to become input in irq helper

[Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The generic IRQ helper library just checks if the IRQ line is
set as input before activating it for interrupts. As we
recently started to check things better with .get_dir() it
turns out that it's good to try to convince the line to become
an input before attempting to lock it as IRQ.
