gpiolib: cdev: Flag invalid GPIOs as used
When reporting the state of a GPIO to userspace, we never check for the actual validity of the line, meaning we report invalid lines as being usable. A subsequent request will fail though, which is an inconsistent behaviour from a userspace perspective. Instead, let's check for the validity of the line and report it as used if it is invalid. This allows a tool such as gpioinfo to report something sensible: gpiochip3 - 4 lines: line 0: unnamed unused input active-high line 1: unnamed kernel input active-high [used] line 2: unnamed kernel input active-high [used] line 3: unnamed unused input active-high In this example, lines 1 and 2 are invalid, and cannot be used by userspace.
