gpio: keep the GPIO line names internal



This refactors the changes to the GPIO line naming mechanism to
not have so widespread effects, instead we conclude the patch series
by having created a name attribute in the GPIO descriptor, that need
not be globally unique, and it will be initialized from the old
.names array in struct gpio_chip if it exists, then used in the legacy
sysfs code like the array was used previously.

The associated changes to name lines from the device tree are
controversial and need to stand alone from this. Resulting changes:

1. Remove the export and the header for the gpio_name_to_desc() as so
far the only use is inside gpiolib.c. Staticize gpio_name_to_desc()
and move it above the only function using it.

2. Only print a warning if there are two GPIO lines with the same name.
The reason is to preserve current behaviour: before the previous
changes to the naming mechanism this would not reject probing the
driver, instead the error would occur when trying to export the line
in sysfs, so restore this behaviour, but print a friendly warning
if names collide.
