Acquire the `attach_lock` semaphore in the `struct comedi_device` while
modifying the `attached` flag. This is a "write" acquire. Note that
the main mutex in the `struct comedi_device` is also held at this time.
Tasks wishing to check the device is attached will need to either
acquire the main mutex, or "read" acquire the `attach_lock` semaphore,
or both in that order.
