[PATCH 1/5] gpiolib: don't overwrite the entire flags field in gpiod_get_direction()

[Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@oss.qualcomm.com>]

gpiod_get_direction() snapshots desc->flags with READ_ONCE(), updates
FLAG_IS_OUT in the local copy and writes the whole word back with
WRITE_ONCE(). Any bit that a concurrent user sets or clears atomically in
between - for instance: FLAG_USED_AS_IRQ from gpiochip_lock_as_irq() - is
silently lost.

Update FLAG_IS_OUT with a single atomic assign_bit() directly on
desc->flags. The earlier READ_ONCE() snapshot is only used for the
open-drain check and stays.
