gpio: pca953x: fix an incorrect lockdep warning
If an I2C GPIO multiplexer is driven by a GPIO provided by an expander
when there's a second expander using the same device driver on one of
the I2C bus segments, lockdep prints a deadlock warning when trying to
set the direction or the value of the GPIOs provided by the second
expander.
The below diagram presents the setup:

------- --------- Bus segment 1 | |

The reason for lockdep warning is that we take the chip->i2c_lock in
pca953x_gpio_set_value() or pca953x_gpio_direction_output() and then
come right back to pca953x_gpio_set_value() when the GPIO mux kicks
in. The locks actually protect different expanders, but for lockdep
both are of the same class, so it says:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0
----
lock(&chip->i2c_lock);
lock(&chip->i2c_lock);
*** DEADLOCK ***
May be due to missing lock nesting notation
In order to get rid of the warning, retrieve the adapter nesting depth
and use it as lockdep subclass for chip->i2c_lock.
