gpio: don't let lockdep complain about inherently dangerous RCU usage
There are two legacy, deprecated functions - gpiod_to_chip() and
gpio_device_get_chip() - that still have users in tree. They return the
address of the SRCU-protected chip outside of the read-only critical
sections. They are inherently dangerous and the users should convert to
safer alternatives. Let's explicitly silence lockdep warnings by using
rcu_dereference_check(ptr, 1). While at it: reuse
gpio_device_get_chip() in gpiod_to_chip().
Fixes: d83cee3 ("gpio: protect the pointer to gpio_chip in gpio_device with SRCU")
