[PATCH] gpiolib: cdev: Don't access uninitialized descriptor

[Viresh Kumar]

linereq_free() can be called from in the middle of errors, where the
descriptor may be NULL for few lines. Don't access uninitialized
descriptor pointer as it leads to kernel crash:

    Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000008

    [...]

    Call trace:
     linereq_free+0x54/0xb8
     linereq_create+0x424/0x570
