gpio: aggregator: protect driver attr handlers against module unload

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2103496

Both new_device_store and delete_device_store touch module global
resources (e.g. gpio_aggregator_lock). To prevent race conditions with
module unload, a reference needs to be held.

Add try_module_get() in these handlers.

For new_device_store, this eliminates what appears to be the most dangerous
scenario: if an id is allocated from gpio_aggregator_idr but
platform_device_register has not yet been called or completed, a concurrent
module unload could fail to unregister/delete the device, leaving behind a
dangling platform device/GPIO forwarder. This can result in various issues.
The following simple reproducer demonstrates these problems:

   #!/bin/bash
   while :; do
     # note: whether 'gpiochip0 0' exists or not does not matter.
     echo 'gpiochip0 0' > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/gpio-aggregator/new_device
   done &
   while :; do
     modprobe gpio-aggregator
     modprobe -r gpio-aggregator
   done &
   wait

   Starting with the following warning, several kinds of warnings will appear
   and the system may become unstable:
