Subject: [RFC PATCH 05/13] can: slcan: simplify the device de-allocation

Since slcan_devs array contains the addresses of the created devices, I
think it is more natural to use its address to remove it from the list.
It is not necessary to store the index of the array that points to the
device in the driver's private data.
