gpiolib: sysfs: Fix error handling on failed export

[ Upstream commit 95dd1e34 ]

If gpio_set_transitory() fails, we should free the GPIO again. Most
notably, the flag FLAG_REQUESTED has previously been set in
gpiod_request_commit(), and should be reset on failure.

To my knowledge, this does not affect any current users, since the
gpio_set_transitory() mainly returns 0 and -ENOTSUPP, which is converted
to 0. However the gpio_set_transitory() function calles the .set_config()
function of the corresponding GPIO chip and there are some GPIO drivers in
which some (unlikely) branches return other values like -EPROBE_DEFER,
and -EINVAL. In these cases, the above mentioned FLAG_REQUESTED would not
be reset, which results in the pin being blocked until the next reboot.
