staging: comedi: comedi.h: remove __user tag from chanlist
The 'chanlist' is passed to the kernel from user space with the
COMEDI_CMD and COMEDI_CMDTEST ioctls. The do_cmd_ioctl() and
do_cmdtest_ioctl() functions in comedi_fops.c copy this data
to/from user space to kernel space correctly.
Unfortunately, this data is copied back into a struct comedi_cmd
so when the cmd is passed down to the drivers they still see the
pointer as __user data. This results is a number of sparse errors
such as:
warning: dereference of noderef expression
warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different address spaces)
expected void const *<noident>
got unsigned int [noderef] <asn:1>*chanlist
warning: incorrect type in argument 3 (different address spaces)
expected unsigned int *chanlist
got unsigned int [noderef] <asn:1>*chanlist
warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces)
expected unsigned int *ai_chanlist
got unsigned int [noderef] <asn:1>*chanlist
The two functions in comedi_fops are the only ones that need the
__user tag. Remove the tag so that all the drivers see the chanlist
pointer in the correct address space.
