PATCH 2/2 scx200_gpio: use 1 cdev for N minors, not N for N

this patch removes the scx200_gpio's cdev-array & ksalloc, replacing it with a single static struct cdev, which is sufficient for all the pins.

cdev_put is commented out since kernel wont link properly with it, and its apparently not needed.

With these patches, this driver continues to work with Chris Boot's leds_48xx driver, which is also new in -mm1.
