PATCH 1/1 staging/panel: Prevent double-calling of parport_release - fix oops.

From: Peter Huewe <[email protected]>

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.
