gpiolib: don't use gpiochip_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.

Fixes: 9d846b1aeb ("gpiolib: check the return value of gpio_chip::get_direction()")
Fixes: e623c4303e ("gpiolib: sanitize the return value of gpio_chip::get_direction()")
