gpiolib: allocate memory atomically with a spinlock held
We will eventually switch to protecting the GPIO descriptors with a mutex but until then, we need to allocate memory for the label copy atomically while we're holding the global spinlock. Reported-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@linaro.org> Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-gpio/62588146-eed6-42f7-ba26-160226b109fe@moroto.mountain/T/#u Fixes: f8d05e276b45 ("gpiolib: remove gpiochip_is_requested()") Signed-off-by: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@linaro.org> Reviewed-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org>
