pps: clients: gpio: fix interrupt handling order in remove path



The interrupt handler in pps_gpio_probe() is registered after calling
pps_register_source() using devm_request_irq(). However, in the
corresponding remove function, pps_unregister_source() is called before
the IRQ is freed, since devm-managed resources are released after the
remove function completes.

This creates a potential race condition where an interrupt may occur
after the PPS source is unregistered but before the handler is removed,
possibly leading to a kernel panic.

To prevent this, switch from devm-managed IRQ registration to manual
management by using request_irq() and calling free_irq() explicitly in
the remove path before unregistering the PPS source. This ensures the
interrupt handler is safely removed before deactivating the PPS source.
