gpio: use kzalloc to allocate gpio_device
The use of kmalloc() to allocate the gpio_device leaves the contained struct device object in an unknown state. Calling dev_set_name() on a struct device of unknown state can trigger the free() of an invalid pointer, as seen in the following backtrace (collected by Tony Lindgren): kfree kobject_set_name_vargs dev_set_name gpiochip_add_data omap_gpio_probe platform_drv_probe ...
