dahdi: Be more tolerant of surprise removal of channels.

Enable DAHDI to detect if an operation on a file handle refers to a
channel that may have been unregistered. This can occur, for example,
when a board driver is hot-swapped out in a live system.

This patch ensures that file->private_data is always properly set for
any open channel, and it's set back to NULL when a channel is
unregistered.  This way file->private_data can be used to check whether
it's valid to perform an operation on the channel.  (NOTE:  There is
still a race condition here if the driver was unbound on one processor
during the window of time between when file->private_data was checked
and the system call finishes).

Also, since DAHDI should only return -ENODEV on read or write when there
was a surprise device removal on a running system this sleep can prevent
the system from becoming unresponsive if the userspace application does
not check for the -ENODEV error and constantly tries to call read with
elevated privileges.
