gpio: remove const modifier from gpiod_get_direction()

Browse Source 
Although gpiod_get_direction() can be considered side-effect free for
consumers, its internals involve setting or clearing bits in the
affected GPIO descriptor, for which we need to force-cast the const
descriptor variable to non-const. This could lead to incorrect behavior
if the compiler decides to optimize here, so remove this const
attribute. The intent is to make gpiod_get_direction() private anyway,
so it does not really matter.
