gpio: sch: Fix Oops on module load on Asus Eee PC 1201
 
This fixes the issue descirbe in bug 117531
(https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117531).
It's a regression introduced in linux 4.5 that causes a Oops at load of
gpio_sch and prevents powering off the computer.

The issue is that sch_gpio_reg_set is called in sch_gpio_probe before
gpio_chip data is initialized with the pointer to the sch_gpio struct. As
sch_gpio_reg_set calls gpiochip_get_data, it returns NULL which causes
the Oops.

The patch follows Mika's advice (https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/5/9/61) and
consists in modifying sch_gpio_reg_get and sch_gpio_reg_set to take a
sch_gpio struct directly instead of a gpio_chip, which avoids the call to
gpiochip_get_data.

Thanks Mika for your patience with me :-)
