Subject: gpio: fix gpio-device list corruption
From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit cf25ef6b631c6fc6c0435fc91eba8734cca20511 upstream.
Make sure to hold the gpio_lock when removing the gpio device from the
gpio_devices list (when dropping the last reference) to avoid corrupting
the list when there are concurrent accesses.
