`pc263_detach()` is called by the comedi core to clean up if either
`pc263_attach()` or `pc263_attach_pci()` returns an error. It sets
`thisboard` to the return value of `comedi_board(dev)` and assumes it is
non-null. This is a valid assumption if `pc263_attach()` fails, but not
if `pc263_attach_pci()` fails, leading to a possible NULL pointer
dereference.
Check `thisboard` at the top of `pc263_detach()` and return early if it
is `NULL`. This is okay because no other resources need cleaning up in
this case.
