[PATCH v4 4/6] gpio: introduce lock mechanism for gpiochip_find

[Dong Aisheng]

From: Dong Aisheng <dong.aisheng@xxxxxxxxxx>

The module lock will be automatically claimed for gpiochip_find function
in case the gpio module is removed during the using of gpiochip instance.
Users are responsible to call gpiochip_put to release the lock after
the using.
