[PATCH 301/524] Staging: panel: Prevent double-calling of parport_release - fix oops.

From: Peter Huewe <peterhuewe at gmx.de>

This patch prevents the code from calling parport_release and
parport_unregister_device twice with the same arguments - and thus fixes an oops.

Rationale:
After the first call the parport is already released and the
handle isn't valid anymore and calling parport_release and
parport_unregister_device twice isn't a good idea.
