[PATCH 18/23] gpio: sysfs: clean up gpiod_export_link locking

From: Johan Hovold
Date: Tue Apr 21 2015 - 11:54:32 EST


Drop unnecessary locking from gpiod_export_link. If the class device has
not already been unregistered, class_find_device returns the ref-counted
class device so there's no need for locking.
