Clear i2c_adapter.dev on adapter removal. This makes it possible to
re-add the adapter at a later point, which some drivers
(i2c-amd756-s4882, i2c-nforce2-s4985) actually do.
This fixes a bug reported by John Stultz here:

and by Ingo Molar there:

Just like the Tyan S4882, the S4985 uses a multiplexer to give access
to all 16 memory module SPD EEPROMs. This specific i2c-nforce2-s4985
driver adds support for this. It is heavily based on the older
i2c-amd756-s4882 driver.
As more mainboards will use multiplexer chips, we will have to find a
way to support them without having to write a new specfic driver for
each. The recent changes to the i2c subsystem should help us, and the
new gpio subsystem might help, too.
