This fixes the oops during w83781d module removal by putting the
subclient registration back in. While I was in there, I split
w83781d_detect in half in an attempt to reduce the goto madness.
So, the /sys tree looks like this, where 48 & 49 are the subclients.
There are no entries (besides name & power) for the subclients.

Also, I fixed a bug where this driver would request and release an
ISA region, then poke around in that region, then finally request
it again.
This patch against 2.5.70 works for me vs. an SMBus adapter. It needs
re-testing against an ISA adapter since my particular chip is SMBus only.
Please CC me w/ comments.
