[PATCH] gpiolib: Avoid side effects in gpio_is_visible()

[Chris Packham <chris.packham@alliedtelesis.co.nz>]

Calling gpiod_to_irq() creates an irq_desc for the GPIO. This is not
something that should happen when just exporting the GPIO via sysfs. The
effect of this was observed as triggering a warning in
gpiochip_disable_irq() when kexec()ing after exporting a GPIO.

Remove the call to gpiod_to_irq() from gpio_is_visible(). The actual
intended creation of the irq_desc comes via edge_store() when requested
by the user.

Notes:
    This is technically a v2 of
    https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230510001151.3946931-1-chris.packham@alliedtelesis.co.nz/
    but the solution is so different it's probably best to treat it as a new
    patch.
