gpiolib: better rmmod infrastructure
As long as one or more GPIOs on a gpio chip are used its driver should not be unloaded. The existing mechanism (gpiochip_remove failure) doesn't address that, since rmmod can no longer be made to fail by having the cleanup code report errors. Module usecounts are the solution. Assuming standard "initialize struct to zero" policies, this change won't affect SOC platform drivers. However, drivers for external chips (on I2C and SPI busses) should be updated if they can be built as modules.
