Subject: [PATCH 3.13 02/10] staging: comedi: fix result of memdup_user for user chanlist

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

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

From: Bernd Porr <mail@...ndporr.me.uk>

commit e56b1401056288a725d50942ef300dcbed5e519a upstream.

If the channel list is not set in userspace we get an error at
PTR_ERR(async->cmd.chanlist). However, do_become_nonbusy(dev, s) cleans
up this pointer which causes a kernel ooops. Setting the channel list in
async to NULL and checking this in do_become_nonbusy prevents the oops.

[Ian Abbott] Also do the same for the chanlist allocated in
do_cmdtest_ioctl().
