Avoid calling desc_to_gpio() if desc->chip is NULL, as this will
cause a kernel panic.

In the code above the calls, there is a test for !chip, which
comes to the 'fail' label if true. In this case, the code
panics, since desc_to_gpio() uses desc->chip to look up the
gpio number.

An RFC patch that explained the cause of one example of panic when
desc->chip is NULL and fixed that example
(http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1308.3/01473.html)
was accepted.  This patch fixes the remaining locations which have
the same problem.
