Low-level comedi drivers registered with the comedi core by
`comedi_driver_register()` are linked together into a simple linked list
headed by the `comedi_drivers` variable and chained by the `next` member
of `struct comedi_driver`. A driver is removed from the list by
`comedi_driver_unregister()`. The driver list is iterated through by
`comedi_device_attach()` when the `COMEDI_DEVCONFIG` ioctl is used to
attach a "legacy" device to a driver, and is also iterated through by
`comedi_read()` in "proc.c" when reading "/proc/comedi".
There is currently no protection against items being added or removed
from the list while it is being iterated. Add a mutex
`comedi_drivers_list_lock` to be locked while adding or removing an item
on the list, or when iterating through the list.
`comedi_driver_unregister()` also checks for and detaches any devices
using the driver. This is currently done before unlinking the driver
from the list, but it makes more sense to unlink the driver from the
list first to prevent `comedi_device_attach()` attempting to use it, so
move the unlinking part to the start of the function. Also, in
`comedi_device_attach()` hold on to the mutex until we've finished
attempting to attach the device to avoid it interfering with the
detachment in `comedi_driver_unregister()`.

Change `comedi_alloc_board_minor()` to return a pointer to the allocated
`struct comedi_device` instead of a minor device number. Return an
`ERR_PTR()` value on error instead of a negative error number. This
saves a call to `comedi_dev_from_minor()` in `comedi_auto_config()`.
Also change it to use a local variable `dev` to hold the pointer to the
`struct comedi_device` instead of using `info->device` all the time.

`comedi_free_board_minor()` is now only called from the same .c file it
is defined in, so give it static linkage.

Add `comedi_release_hardware_device()` as a replacement for the call
sequence `comedi_find_board_minor()`, `comedi_free_board_minor()`. This
is slightly safer as we can make sure nothing funny happens to the found
`comedi_file_info_table[]` entry in the middle of the sequence. Change
`comedi_auto_unconfig()` to call the new function instead of the old
sequence. Remove `comedi_find_board_minor()` as it has no other
callers.

This module parameter is used to enable the auto config mechanism
in the comedi core. Most of the PCI, PCMCIA, and USB drivers have
been converted to use the auto config mechanism and will not attach
if it is disabled.
Since the 'comedi_autoconfig' parameter is defaulted to true, just
remove it so that the comedi drivers that use auto config will
always be able to attach.

`comedi_alloc_subdevice_minor()` doesn't really need a parameter
pointing to a `struct comedi_device` as it can get this information from
the parameter pointing to a `struct comedi_subdevice`. Just pass the
subdevice parameter.

Move the declarations of `comedi_alloc_subdevice_minor()` and
`comedi_free_subdevice_minor()` from "comedidev.h" to
"comedi_internal.h" since they are only of interest to the comedi core,
and are not exported to the low-level comedi drivers.

Tidy up comedi_internal.h a bit so that all the internal stuff
in drivers.c is grouped.

This helper function is only called by the comedi core in comedi_buf.c
and comedi_fops.c. For aesthetic reasons, move it to comedi_buf.c and
remove the inline. Move the prototype from comedidev.h to comedi_internal.h
so it's not exposed outside the comedi core.

For aesthetic reasons, rename this function to comedi_buf_reset(). This
makes all the asynchronous buffer functions have the same namespace.

Move the contents of "comedi_fops.h" into "comedi_internal.h" and delete
"comedi_fops.h". It only contains a couple of external variable
declarations (and #include <linux/types.h>) and one of those isn't even
declared in "comedi_fops.c". The other one is an external declaration
of a variable used to store a module parameter and some of those are
already externally declared in "comedi_internal.h", so they can keep it
company!
