[PATCH] gpio: shared: shorten the critical section in gpiochip_setup_shared()

[Bartosz Golaszewski]

Commit 710abda58055 ("gpio: shared: call gpio_chip::of_xlate() if set")
introduced a critical section around the adjustmenet of entry->offset.
However this may cause a deadlock if we create the auxiliary shared
proxy devices with this lock taken. We only need to protect
entry->offset while it's read/written so shorten the critical section
and release the lock before creating the proxy device as the field in
question is no longer accessed at this point.

Fixes: 710abda58055 ("gpio: shared: call gpio_chip::of_xlate() if set")
