Removed __devexit from talitos_remove() since its also called from
talitos_probe().

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x28a008): Section mismatch in reference from the function talitos_probe() to the function .devexit.text:talitos_remove()
The function talitos_probe() references a function in an exit section.
Often the function talitos_remove() has valid usage outside the exit section
and the fix is to remove the __devexit annotation of talitos_remove.

OK, but what about the __devexit_p reference on talitos_remove?
We should remove that too.

Thanks,
