staging: comedi: remove manually unconfigured dynamic devices



If a dynamically allocated (non-legacy, and automatically configured)
comedi device has been successfully unconfigured by use of the
`COMEDI_DEVCONFIG` ioctl, then remove the device afterwards.
(Dynamically identified comedi devices are identified by their minor
device number being `comedi_num_legacy_minors` or greater.)  This is
done in `comedi_unlocked_ioctl()` on return from `do_devconfig_ioctl()`.

Note that there is an unlikely race condition with some other thread
that has just called `comedi_file_info_from_minor()` or
`comedi_dev_from_minor()` and is about to use the device, but that race
condition also exists for automatically removed devices and will be
dealt with properly once reference counting of comedi devices has been
implemented.  We do avoid a race condition between automatic removal and
removal by the `COMEDI_DEVCONFIG` ioctl though.

Also add an extra precaution in `do_devconfig_ioctl()` to avoid
configuring a dynamically allocated device since there is a tight
window avoiding the race condition where this could happen and the
device is about to be removed anyway.
