From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@linaro.org>

In order to prepare the line state notification mechanism for working in
atomic context as well, add a dedicated, high-priority, ordered
workqueue to GPIO device which will be used to queue the events fron any
context for them to be emitted always in process context.
