staging: comedi: no need to evade comedi_auto_unconfig()
When `comedi_unlocked_ioctl()` handled the `COMEDI_DEVCONFIG` ioctl via a call to `do_devconfig()`, this used to be allowed to attach a legacy hardware device to any board minor device, and the auto-unconfiguration code for non-legacy used to search all board minor devices to find the hardware device being removed. After calling `do_devconfig()` successfully, `comedi_unlocked_ioctl()` sets the `hardware_device` member of the `struct comedi_file_info` to NULL to stop the auto-unconfiguration code finding it by accident and unconfiguring the wrong comedi device as a result. The above is no longer necessary because `do_devconfig()` now only allows legacy hardware devices to be attached to comedi board minor device numbers below `comedi_num_legacy_minors` and the auto-unconfiguration code (particularly `comedi_release_hardware_device()`) only searches comedi board minor device numbers greater than or equal to `comedi_num_legacy_minors`, so there is no overlap. Remove the now unnecessary setting of `info->hardware_device = NULL` in `comedi_unlocked_ioctl()`.
