If the main loop in linehandle_create() encounters an error, it unwinds completely by freeing all previously requested GPIO descriptors. However, if the error occurs in the beginning of the loop before that GPIO is requested, then the exit code attempts to free a null descriptor. If extrachecks is enabled, gpiod_free() triggers a WARN_ON.
Instead, keep a separate count of legitimate GPIOs so that only those are freed.
