3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ian Abbott <abbo...@mev.co.uk>

commit a9332e9ad09c2644c99058fcf6ae2f355e93ce74 upstream.

There is a clean-up bug in the core comedi module initialization
functions, `comedi_init()`.  If the `comedi_num_legacy_minors` module
parameter is non-zero (and valid), it creates that many "legacy" devices
and registers them in SysFS.  A failure causes the function to clean up
and return an error.  Unfortunately, it fails to destroy the "comedi"
class that was created earlier.  Fix it by adding a call to
`class_destroy(comedi_class)` at the appropriate place in the clean-up
sequence.
