[PATCH] slip: sl_alloc(): remove unused parameter "dev_t line"

[Marc Kleine-Budde]

The first and only parameter of sl_alloc() is unused, so remove it.

Applied.

While reviewing this I noticed that slip_devs[], along with the
arbitrary slip_maxdev limit, can be removed and replaced with
a simply linked list.

All the array is used for it proper teardown during module unload.
This is made even more clear by the fact that the index stored
in dev->base_addr is never ever used.
