Fix unregister_chrdev call

unregister _chrdev has become a void function int he kernel, so testing the return value is an error.

unregister_chrdev has become a void function in the kernel source, so the ksb26 code which test the return value is an error. The attached patch and ebuild fixes the problem.

Added patch to Portage.

Arches, please test and mark stable, since currently stable version cannot be compiled with latest kernels...
