The new challenge is to remove VLAs from the kernel
(see https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/7/621) to eventually
turn on -Wvla.

Using a kmalloc array is the easy way to fix this but kmalloc is still
more expensive than stack allocation. Introduce a fast path with a
fixed size stack array to cover most chip with gpios below some fixed
amount. The slow path dynamically allocates an array to cover those
chips with a large number of gpios.

v7: Tweaked the Kconfig text to clarify the wording. Also fixed a few
other comments from Geert, including the earlier suggestion to reduce
the zeroing since I was wrong about that.

I've kept most of the existing Tested/Reviewed-by (thank you!). If you'd
like to take another look/do another test feel free.

Thanks for the update!

With the minor nit below resolved:

While you can indeed fit 2 * 16 bits in a long, a lower limit of 16 doesn't
make much sense, as you will use 2 longs (mask + bits) anyway.
So please increase it to 32.
