Subject: [PATCH] staging: comedi: Fix incorrect type assignment

This patch fixes the following sparse error:
drivers/staging/comedi/drivers//ni_pcimio.c:1229:32: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types)
drivers/staging/comedi/drivers//ni_pcimio.c:1229:32:    expected restricted __be32 [usertype] serial_number
drivers/staging/comedi/drivers//ni_pcimio.c:1229:32:    got unsigned int

This is done by removing the whole code block, since the variable
'serial_number' is only assigned but never used.
