[ Upstream commit e5332d5437764f775cf4e3b8ca3bf592af063a02 ]
User space can currently both read and set values of input lines using
the character device. This was not allowed by the old sysfs interface
nor is it a correct behavior.
Check the first descriptor in the set for the OUT flag when asked to
set values and return -EPERM if the line is input.
