gpio: sysfs: fix gpio device-attribute leak
commit 0915e6fe upstream. The gpio device attributes were never destroyed when the gpio was unexported (or on export failures). Use device_create_with_groups() to create the default device attributes of the gpio class device. Note that this also fixes the attribute-creation race with userspace for these attributes. Remove contingent attributes in export error path and on unexport.
