i2c: Fix userspace_device list corruption

Fix userspace_device list corruption. The corruption was caused by
clients not being removed when adapters with such clients were
themselves removed. Something like the following would trigger it
(assuming i2c-stub gets adapter number 3):

# modprobe i2c-stub chip_addr=0x50
# echo 24c08 0x50 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-3/new_device
# rmmod i2c-stub
# modprobe i2c-stub chip_addr=0x50
# echo 24c08 0x50 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-3/new_device

For the records, the stack trace in the kernel logs look like this:
