gpiolib: fix the speed of descriptor label setting with SRCU

Commit 1f2bcb8c8ccd ("gpio: protect the descriptor label with SRCU")
caused a massive drop in performance of requesting GPIO lines due to the
call to synchronize_srcu() on each label change. Rework the code to not
wait until all read-only users are done with reading the label but
instead atomically replace the label pointer and schedule its release
after all read-only critical sections are done.

To that end wrap the descriptor label in a struct that also contains the
rcu_head struct required for deferring tasks using call_srcu() and stop
using kstrdup_const() as we're required to allocate memory anyway. Just
allocate enough for the label string and rcu_head in one go.
