Revert "gpio: Revert regression in sysfs-gpio (gpiolib.c)"

[ Upstream commit 56e337f2cf ]

This reverts commit fc328a7d1f.

This commit - while attempting to fix a regression - has caused a number
of other problems. As the fallout from it is more significant than the
initial problem itself, revert it for now before we find a correct
solution.
