gpiolib: fix reference leaks when removing GPIO chips still in use 

[ Upstream commit 3386fb86ec ]

After we remove a GPIO chip that still has some requested descriptors,
gpiod_free_commit() will fail and we will never put the references to the
GPIO device and the owning module in gpiod_free().

Rework this function to:
- not warn on desc == NULL as this is a use-case on which most free
  functions silently return
- put the references to desc->gdev and desc->gdev->owner unconditionally
  so that the release callback actually gets called when the remaining
  references are dropped by external GPIO users
