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 0733424c9ba9
("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.

 - Revise the commit log.
 - Reduce code diff lines by using if (!parent) condition.
 - Add Reviewed-by Geert's tag.

 Changes from v1 (https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10848567/):
 - Change the subject from "Avoid" to "Fix".
 - Merge pwmchip_sysfs_unexport_children()'s code into
   pwmchip_sysfs_unexport() and move pwmchip_sysfs_unexport() to
   the top of pwmchip_remove().
 - Revise the commit log that is reffered from Therry's comments [1]
   because it seems very clear to me.
 - Add Fixes tag about the commit 0733424c9ba9. 
 - I got Geert's Reviewed-by on v1 patch, but I'm not sure
   I can add the Reviewed-by because v2 patch changes a bit.
   So, I didn't add the Reviewed-by tag.
