Fix an "Invalid wait context" lockdep warning during Apple GPIO probe and
correct debugfs ordering during cache teardown.

Tested on Apple M3 MacBook Air (T8122):

- All 4 GPIO controllers probe successfully with lockdep enabled.
- The "Invalid wait context" warning no longer occurs.
- The regmap KUnit suite passes and lockdep remains enabled.
