    [ Upstream commit 347ab948 ]
    
    This patch fixes deadlock warning if removing PWM device
    when CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING is enabled.
    
    This issue can be reproceduced by the following steps on
    the R-Car H3 Salvator-X board if the backlight is disabled:
    
     # cd /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0
     # echo 0 > export
     # ls
     device  export  npwm  power  pwm0  subsystem  uevent  unexport
     # cd device/driver
     # ls
     bind  e6e31000.pwm  uevent  unbind
     # echo e6e31000.pwm > unbind

    The sysfs unexport in pwmchip_remove() is completely asymmetric
    to what we do in pwmchip_add_with_polarity() and commit 0733424c
    
    
    ("pwm: Unexport children before chip removal") is a strong indication
    that this was wrong to begin with. We should just move
    pwmchip_sysfs_unexport() where it belongs, which is right after
    pwmchip_sysfs_unexport_children(). In that case, we do not need
    separate functions anymore either.
    
    We also really want to remove sysfs irrespective of whether or not
    the chip will be removed as a result of pwmchip_remove(). We can only
    assume that the driver will be gone after that, so we shouldn't leave
    any dangling sysfs files around.
    
    This warning disappears if we move pwmchip_sysfs_unexport() to
    the top of pwmchip_remove(), pwmchip_sysfs_unexport_children().
    That way it is also outside of the pwm_lock section, which indeed
    doesn't seem to be needed.
    
    Moving the pwmchip_sysfs_export() call outside of that section also
    seems fine and it'd be perfectly symmetric with pwmchip_remove() again.
    
    So, this patch fixes them.
