[PATCH 1/2 v2] gpio-ich: Check for pin availability at request time

[PATCH 1/2 v2] gpio-ich: Check for pin availability at request time

[Jean Delvare]

Stop checking for pin availability in direction and get functions.
These functions can be called repeatedly, so checking every time is
bad for performance. Now that requesting GPIO pins is no longer
optional, checking for availability at pin request time is enough.

Changes since v1:
* Also drop the check from direction functions, as suggested by Peter.
