Subject: [PATCH] fs/char_dev.c: fix incorrect documentation for unregister_chrdev_region

The current documentation for unregister_chrdev_region says that it
return a range of device numbers which is incorrect. Instead it
unregister a range of device numbers. Fix the documentation to make this
clear.
