Fix potential corruption of gpio-chip list due to failure to remove the chip from the list before returning in gpiochip_add error path. The chip could be long gone when the global list is next traversed, something which could lead to a null-pointer dereference. In the best case (chip not deallocated) we are just leaking the gpio range.
