gpiolib: don't allow userspace to set values of input lines
User space can currently both read and set values of input lines using the character device. This was not allowed by the old sysfs interface nor is it a correct behavior. Check the first descriptor in the set for the OUT flag when asked to set values and return -EPERM if the line is input.
