pwm: Export `pwmchip_release` for external use

The upcoming Rust abstraction layer for the PWM subsystem uses a custom
`dev->release` handler to safely manage the lifetime of its driver
data.

To prevent leaking the memory of the `struct pwm_chip` (allocated by
`pwmchip_alloc`), this custom handler must also call the original
`pwmchip_release` function to complete the cleanup.

Make `pwmchip_release` a global, exported function so that it can be
called from the Rust FFI bridge. This involves removing the `static`
keyword, adding a prototype to the public header, and exporting the
symbol.
