[GIT PULL] gpio: fixes for v6.9

Linus,

Here are some last-minute fixes for this release from the GPIO subsystem.

The first two address a regression in performance reported to me after the
conversion to using SRCU in GPIOLIB that was merged during the v6.9 merge
window. The second patch is not technically a fix but since after the
first one we no longer need to use a per-descriptor SRCU struct, I think
it's worth to simplify the code before it gets released on Sunday.

The next two commits fix two memory issues: one use-after-free bug and
one instance of possibly leaking kernel stack memory to user-space.

Please pull,
Bartosz
