pcmcia: Fix broken abuse of dev->driver_data 

PCMCIA abuses dev->private_data in the probe methods. Unfortunately it
continues to abuse it after calling drv->probe() which leads to crashes and
other nasties (such as bogus probes of multifunction devices) giving errors like

pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.1
kernel: 0.1: GetNextTuple: No more items

Extract the passed data before calling the driver probe function that way
we don't blow up when the driver reuses dev->private_data as its right.

As its close to the final release just move the hack so it works out,
hopefully someone will be sufficiently embarrassed to produce a nice rework
for 2.6.28.
