media: i2c: max9286: fix kernel oops when removing module

When removing the max9286 module we get a kernel oops:

The Oops happens because the I2C client data does not point to
max9286_priv anymore but to v4l2_subdev. The change happened in
max9286_init() which calls v4l2_i2c_subdev_init() later on...

Besides fixing the max9286_remove() function, remove the call to
i2c_set_clientdata() in max9286_probe(), to avoid confusion, and make
the necessary changes to max9286_init() so that it doesn't have to use
i2c_get_clientdata() in order to fetch the pointer to priv.
