There is simply no reason to be manually setting the private driver
data to NULL in the remove/fail to probe cases.  This is just extra
cruft code that can be removed.

A few notes:
* Nothing relies on drvdata being set to NULL.
* The __device_release_driver() function eventually calls
  dev_set_drvdata(dev, NULL) anyway, so there's no need to do it
  twice.
* I verified that there were no cases where xxx_get_drvdata() was
  being called in these drivers and checking for / relying on the NULL
  return value.

This could be cleaned up kernel-wide but for now just take the baby
step and remove from the i2c subsystem.
