Subject: [PATCH 5/8] staging: comedi: COMEDI_BUFINFO: return error if no active command

The `COMEDI_BUFINFO` ioctl is used to advance the current position in
the buffer and/or get the current buffer position.  If no asynchronous
command is active (started via the file object that issued this ioctl),
this information is meaningless.  Change it to return an error
(`-EINVAL`) in this case.  Prior to this change, if a command was
started via a different file object, the ioctl returned `-EACCES`, but
now it will return `-EINVAL`, which is consistent with the current
behavior of the "read" and "write" file operation handlers.
