Sometimes it is useful to allow GPIO chips themselves to request GPIOs they
own through gpiolib API. One use case is ACPI ASL code that should be able
to toggle GPIOs through GPIO operation regions.
We can't use gpio_request() because it will pin the module to the kernel
forever (it calls try_module_get()). To solve this we move module refcount
manipulation to gpiod_request() and let __gpiod_request() handle the actual
request. This changes the sequence a bit as now try_module_get() is called
outside of gpio_lock (I think this is safe, try_module_get() handles
serialization it needs already).
Then we provide gpiolib internal functions gpiochip_request/free_own_desc()
that do the same as gpio_request() but don't manipulate module refrence
count. This allows the GPIO chip driver to request and free descriptors it
owns without being pinned to the kernel forever.

Now that all users of acpi_gpio.h have been moved to use either the GPIO
descriptor interface or to the internal gpiolib.h we can get rid of
acpi_gpio.h entirely.
Once this is done the only interface to get GPIOs to drivers enumerated
from ACPI namespace is the descriptor based interface.

Instead of asking each driver to register to ACPI events we can just call
acpi_gpiochip_register_interrupts() for each chip that has an ACPI handle.
The function checks chip->to_irq and if it is set to NULL (a GPIO driver
that doesn't do interrupts) the function does nothing.
We also add the a new header drivers/gpio/gpiolib.h that is used for
functions internal to gpiolib and add ACPI GPIO chip registering functions
to that header.
Once that is done we can remove call to acpi_gpiochip_register_interrupts()
from its only user, pinctrl-baytrail.c
