staging: comedi: simplify comedi_set_hw_dev()
Since `get_device()` and `put_device()` can take a NULL device parameter, `comedi_set_hw_dev()` can be simplified to always call `get_device()` for the new, possibly NULL hardware device, and `put_device()` for the old, possibly NULL hardware device. As long as we do it in that order, there shouldn't be any problem with `kref_release()` getting called unexpectedly when the new hardware device is the old hardware device. Simplify `comedi_set_hw_dev()` and update the comment because the function is used for additional purposes since the old comment was written.
