staging: comedi: amplc_dio200: fix possible NULL deref during detach
`dio200_detach()` is called by the comedi core to clean up if either
`dio200_attach()` or `dio200_attach_pci()` return an error. It assigns
`thisboard` to the return value of `comedi_board(dev)` and assumes it is
non-null. In the case of a previous call to `dio200_attach()` it won't
be `NULL` because the comedi core will have pointed it to one of the
elements of `dio200_boards[]`, but in the case of a previous call to
`dio200_attach_pci()` it could be `NULL`, leading to a null pointer
dereference.
Check that `thisboard` is valid at the top of `dio200_detach()` and
return early if it is `NULL`. This is okay because the only other thing
that could have been allocated is `dev->private` and that is freed by
the comedi core, not by this function.
