Subject: [ 18/58] staging: comedi: dont dereference user memory for INSN_INTTRIG

3.5-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ian Abbott <abbotti@....co.uk>

commit 5d06e3df280bd230e2eadc16372e62818c63e894 upstream.

`parse_insn()` is dereferencing the user-space pointer `insn->data`
directly when handling the `INSN_INTTRIG` comedi instruction.  It
shouldn't be using `insn->data` at all; it should be using the separate
`data` pointer passed to the function.  Fix it.
