The debugfs files really need to hold the gpiolib spinlock before

Just wondering: if we manage to change this spinlock into a mutex in the
future, wouldn't it be better to acquire it only once in
gpiolib_seq_start() and release it in gpiolib_seq_stop()?
Even though the protection introduced by this patch definitely improves
the situation, it seems to me that chips could still be removed while
being displayed by gpiolib_seq_show().
Thanks,
Alex.
