gpiolib: don't check the retval of get_direction() when registering a chip
During chip registration we should neither check the return value of gc->get_direction() nor hold the SRCU lock when calling it. The former is because pin controllers may have pins set to alternate functions and return errors from their get_direction() callbacks. That's alright - we should default to the safe INPUT state and not bail-out. The latter is not needed because we haven't registered the chip yet so there's nothing to protect against dynamic removal. In fact: we currently hit a lockdep splat. Revert to calling the gc->get_direction() callback directly and *not* checking its value.
