Some classes (i.e. gpio), want to know if they have been registered or
not, and poke around in the class's internal structures to try to figure
this out. Because this is not really a good idea, provide a function
for classes to call to try to figure this out.
Note, this is racy as the state of the class could change at any moment
in time after the call is made, but as usually a class only wants to
know if it has been registered yet or not, it should be fairly safe to
use, and is just as safe as the previous "poke at the class internals"
check was.
Move the gpiolib code to use this function as proof that it works
properly.
