[PATCH] pinctrl-exynos5440: Use off-stack memory for pinctrl_gpio_range

The range is registered into a linked list which can be referenced
throughout the lifetime of the driver. Ensure the range's memory is useful
for the same lifetime by adding it to the driver's private data structure.

The bug was introduced in the driver's initial commit, which was present in
v3.10.

This is my first contribution to the kernel, so hopefully I've followed all the
relevant documentation. If not, please let me know and point me in the right
direction!

I don't have the means to test the patch, but it compiles. Someone with
appropriate hardware should probably give it a spin.
