When a GPIO device is forcefully unregistered, we are left with an inactive object. If user-space kept an open file descriptor to a line request associated with such a structure, upon closing it, we'll see the kernel crash due to freeing unexistent GPIO descriptors. Fix it by checking if chip is still alive before calling gpiod_free() in release callbacks for both v2 and v1 ABI.
