iio: accel: bmc150: Don't make the remove function of the second accelerometer unregister itself

Browse source 
On machines with dual accelerometers described in a single ACPI fwnode,
the bmc150_accel_probe() instantiates a second i2c-client for the second
accelerometer.

A pointer to this manually instantiated second i2c-client is stored
inside the iio_dev's private-data through bmc150_set_second_device(),
so that the i2c-client can be unregistered from bmc150_accel_remove().

Before this commit bmc150_set_second_device() took only 1 argument so it
would store the pointer in private-data of the iio_dev belonging to the
manually instantiated i2c-client, leading to the bmc150_accel_remove()
call for the second_dev trying to unregister *itself* while it was
being removed, leading to a deadlock and rmmod hanging.

Change bmc150_set_second_device() to take 2 arguments: 1. The i2c-client
which is instantiating the second i2c-client for the 2nd accelerometer and
2. The second-device pointer itself (which also is an i2c-client).

This will store the second_device pointer in the private data of the
iio_dev belonging to the (ACPI instantiated) i2c-client for the first
accelerometer and will make bmc150_accel_remove() unregister the
second_device i2c-client when called for the first client,
avoiding the deadlock.
