[fix] Fixed duplicate template entries in Device admin

Bug:
The JS logic in relevant_templates.js assumed that the last
`ul.sortedm2m-items` element belonged to the empty inline form used by
Django admin formsets. This assumption breaks when the user does not
have permission to add Config objects: in that case the
ConfigInlineAdmin does not render the empty form.

As a result, both selectors ended up referencing the same list and the
script appended template elements twice to the same `sortedm2m` list,
causing duplicate entries and issues when saving the form.

Fix:
Select the empty form container explicitly using `#config-empty
ul.sortedm2m-items` instead of relying on the last occurrence of
`ul.sortedm2m-items`. This ensures the logic works correctly regardless
of whether the empty inline form is rendered.

[backport 1.2]
