gpiolib: add drivers/gpio directory

Add an empty drivers/gpio directory for gpiolib infrastructure and GPIO
expanders.  It will be populated by later patches.

This won't be the only place to hold such gpio_chip code.  Many external chips
add a few GPIOs as secondary functionality (such as MFD drivers) and platform
code frequently needs to closely integrate GPIO and IRQ support.

This is placed *early* in the build/link sequence since it's common for other
drivers to depend on GPIOs to do their work, so they must be initialized early
in the device_initcall() sequence.

+          The checks help ensure that GPIOs have been properly initialized
+          before they are used and that sleeping calls aren not made from
+          nonsleeping contexts.  They can make bitbanged serial protocols
+          slower.  The diagnostics help catch the type of setup errors
+          that are most common when setting up new platforms or boards.
