[PATCH 3/5] gpio: cdev: wake up chardev poll() on device unbind

[Bartosz Golaszewski <brgl@bgdev.pl>]

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@linaro.org>

Emit a new notifier event right after the character device was
unregistered and receive it in the notifier owned by the descriptor
associated with the character device file. Upon reception, wake up the
wait queue so that the user-space be forced out of poll() and need to
go into a new system call which will then fail due to the chip being
gone.
