The global gpio_shared_lock has caused some issues when recursively
removing GPIO shared proxies. The thing is: we don't really need it.
Once created from an init-call, the shared GPIO data structures are
never removed, there's no need to protect the linked lists of entries
and references. All we need to protect is the shared GPIO descriptor
(which we already do with a per-entry mutex) and the auxiliary device
data in struct gpio_shared_ref.
Remove the global gpio_shared_lock and use a per-reference mutex to
protect shared references when adding/removing the auxiliary devices and
their GPIO lookup entries.

There's an unexpected interaction between the reset-gpio driver and the
shared GPIO support. The reset-gpio device is an auxiliary device that's
created dynamically and fulfills a similar role to the gpio-shared-proxy
driver but is limited in scope to just supporting the "reset-gpios"
property.
The shared GPIO core code does not take into account that the machine
lookup entry we create when scanning the device-tree must connect the
reset-gpio device - that is the actual consumer of the GPIO and not the
consumer defined on the device tree, which in turn consumes the shared
reset control exposed by the reset-gpio device - to the GPIO controller.
We also must not skip the gpio-shared-proxy driver as it's possible that
a shared GPIO may be used by one consumer as a reset-gpios going through
the reset-gpio device and another that uses GPIOLIB.
We need to make it a special case handled in gpiolib-shared.c. Add a new
function - gpio_shared_dev_is_reset_gpio() - whose role it is to verify
if a non-matching consumer of a shared pin is a reset-gpio device and
make sure it's the right one for this pin. To that end make sure that
its parent is the GPIO controller in question and that the fwnode we
identified as sharing the pin references that controller via the
"reset-gpios" property.
Only include that code if the reset-gpio driver is enabled.

Provide an interface allowing consumers to check if a GPIO descriptor
represents a GPIO that can potentially be shared by multiple consumers
at the same time. This is exposed to allow subsystems that already
work around the limitations of the current non-exclusive GPIO handling
in some ways, to gradually convert to relying on the new shared GPIO
feature of GPIOLIB.
Extend the gpiolib-shared module to mark the GPIO shared proxy
descriptors with a flag checked by the new interface.

This module scans the device tree (for now only OF nodes are supported
but care is taken to make other fwnode implementations easy to
integrate) and determines which GPIO lines are shared by multiple users.
It stores that information in memory. When the GPIO chip exposing shared
lines is registered, the shared GPIO descriptors it exposes are marked
as shared and virtual "proxy" devices that mediate access to the shared
lines are created. When a consumer of a shared GPIO looks it up, its
fwnode lookup is redirected to a just-in-time machine lookup that points
to this proxy device.
This code can be compiled out on platforms which don't use shared GPIOs.
