staging: comedi: amplc_pc236: fix possible NULL deref during detach `pc236_detach()` is called by the comedi core to clean up if either `pc236_attach()` or `pc236_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 `pc236_attach()` fails, but not if `pc236_attach_pci()` fails, leading to a possible NULL pointer dereference. Check `thisboard` at the top of `pc236_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.
