Subject: [PATCH] Staging: comedi: clean up conditional statement in addi_apci_3xxx.c

In this if-else conditional statement, if (chan < 16), but
(data[0] == INSN_CONFIG_DIO_QUERY), the function does not return early,
but the else-branch does not get executed either.  As a result, mask
would be used uninitialized in the next line.  What we want here is if
(chan < 16) and (data[0] != INSN_CONFIG_DIO_QUERY), return an error, but
in every other case, initialize mask and then proceed.  Found by a static
checker.
