staging: comedi: fix bug destroying subdevice files after parent

`comedi_free_board_dev()` is called (via `comedi_auto_unconfig()` -->
`comedi_release_hardware_device()`) when an auto-configured comedi
device is removed.  This destroys the main sysfs class device and then
calls `comedi_device_cleanup()` to clean up the comedi device.  For
comedi devices that have comedi subdevices that asynchronous commands,
the clean up involves destroying the sysfs class devices associated with
those subdevices.

There is a bug in the above sequence because the sysfs class devices
associated with the comedi subdevices are children of the sysfs class
device associated with the main comedi device.  Therefore they will have
been automatically destroyed when the main sysfs class device is
destroyed.  When they are destroyed again as part of the clean-up, they
will not be found, leading to a warning and a stack trace similar to
this:

To correct the bug, rearrange `comedi_free_board_dev()` to destroy the
main sysfs class device *after* the clean-up operation.

Thanks to Bernd Porr for finding the bug and his initial attempt to fix
it.
