[PATCH] gpiolib: don't allow setting values on input lines

[Bartosz Golaszewski <brgl@bgdev.pl>]

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

Some drivers as well as the character device and sysfs code check
whether the line actually is in output mode before allowing the user to
set a value.

However, GPIO value setters now return integer values and can indicate
failures. This allows us to move these checks into the core code.
