staging: comedi: avoid releasing legacy minors automatically
`comedi_alloc_board_minor()` is called for both reserved "legacy" devices created during module initialization, and for dynamically created devices (via `comedi_auto_config()`). All the minor device numbers from 0 to `comedi_num_legacy_minors - 1` are for legacy devices and all those from `comedi_num_legacy_minors` to `COMEDI_NUM_BOARD_MINORS - 1` are for dynamically created devices. `comedi_release_hardware_device()` is called (via `comedi_auto_unconfig()`) when a dynamically created device is being removed. It needs to search the table of minor device numbers to see which one is associated with the hardware device. It currently starts the search at minor device number 0. Change it to start from `comedi_num_legacy_minors` to skip over those belonging to legacy devices. Also change `comedi_alloc_board_minor()` to skip the legacy devices when searching for a free minor device number for the dynamically created device. (The validity of the `hardware_device` parameter is used to distinguish the legacy devices from the dynamically created ones.)
