[PATCH] Fix capi reload by unregistering the correct major



I am having the bug FATAL: Error inserting capi ([..]/capi.ko): Device or
resource busy when I try to reload capi after loading it.  in dmesg:
capi20: unable to get major 68

Fix the issue which is caused by setting the major to zero when registering
the chrdev succeeded.

(akpm: this means that we can again not use `major=0' (dynamic major
allocation) for this driver).
