[PATCH v6 2/5] pinctrl: mediatek: free EINT resources on unbind

mtk_eint_do_init() creates an IRQ domain, populates it with a mapping for
every EINT line and installs a chained handler on the parent interrupt,
but none of these are ever released. This was harmless while the drivers
were built-in, but now that they can be built as modules and
unbound/rmmod'd it leaves behind a dangling IRQ domain, interrupt mappings
whose chip data points at freed memory, and a chained handler that keeps
firing into that freed data.

The plain allocations in mtk_eint_do_init() already use the device-managed
devm_*() helpers, so tear the remaining resources down the same way:
register a devm action that detaches the chained handler, disposes of the
per-line mappings and removes the IRQ domain. This mirrors the
device-managed lifecycle adopted for the GPIO chip and keeps the whole
EINT setup self-cleaning on unbind.
