pcmcia: replace linux/gpio.h inclusions
The pcmcia drivers all use the legacy interfaces, so convert to
include linux/gpio/legacy.h instead.

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but I noticed a pre-existing
issue while reviewing the GPIO include changes.
Does the error path in h3600_pcmcia_hw_init() cause a double-free of a
devres-managed GPIO descriptor?
If gpio_request(H3XXX_EGPIO_OPT_NVRAM_ON) or subsequent legacy GPIO requests
fail, the code jumps to or falls through to the err01 label:
drivers/pcmcia/sa1100_h3600.c:h3600_pcmcia_hw_init() {
...
err06: gpio_free(H3XXX_EGPIO_CARD_RESET);
err05: gpio_free(H3XXX_EGPIO_OPT_RESET);
err04: gpio_free(H3XXX_EGPIO_OPT_ON);
err03: gpio_free(H3XXX_EGPIO_OPT_NVRAM_ON);
err01: gpio_free(H3XXX_GPIO_PCMCIA_IRQ0);
return err;
}
The err01 label incorrectly frees H3XXX_GPIO_PCMCIA_IRQ0. This GPIO is
managed by devres and was not explicitly requested using gpio_request() in
this function.
When devres cleans up the failed probe, it will attempt to free the GPIO
again. This could lead to a double-free, gpiolib state corruption, kernel
warnings, or accidentally freeing a GPIO acquired by a concurrent driver.
