`comedi_device_postconfig()` calls `comedi_device_detach()` on failure. Remove that call and make the callers of `comedi_device_postconfig()` call `comedi_device_detach()` themselves if it returns an error. This seems more logical as the callers of `comedi_device_postconfig()` called `comedi_device_detach()` anyway if they didn't call `comedi_device_postconfig()`.
