staging: comedi: add comedi_clear_board_dev()



Add local function `comedi_clear_board_dev()` as a safer alternative to
`comedi_clear_board_minor()` when we already have a pointer to a `struct
comedi_device`.  It uses the board minor device number stored in the
`struct comedi_device` (which must have already been initialized) and
only clears the entry in `comedi_board_minor_table[]` if it points to
the specified `struct comedi_device`.  Rather than returning the old
table entry, it returns `true` if the entry matched (and so has just
been cleared) and returns `false` otherwise.

Call `comedi_clear_board_dev()` instead of `comedi_clear_board_minor()`
in `comedi_unlocked_ioctl()` (in the code that frees a dynamically
allocated comedi device detached by the `COMEDI_DEVCONFIG` ioctl).  That
ought to return `true` but check it just in case before freeing the
device.  There is still a race condition here which needs to be dealt
with once we've implemented reference counting for `struct
comedi_device`s.
