staging: comedi: fix memory leak / bad pointer freeing for chanlist
As a follow-up to commit 6cab7a37 ("staging: comedi: (regression) channel list must be set for COMEDI_CMD ioctl"), Hartley Sweeten pointed out another couple of bugs stemming from commit 6cab7a37 ("staging: comedi: comedi_fops: introduce __comedi_get_user_chanlist()"). Firstly, `do_cmdtest_ioctl()` never frees the kernel copy of the user chanlist allocated by `__comedi_get_user_chanlist()`, so that memory is leaked. Fix it by freeing the allocated kernel memory pointed to by `cmd.chanlist` before that pointer is overwritten with its original pointer to user memory before `cmd` is copied back to user-space. Secondly, if `__comedi_get_user_chanlist()` returns an error, `cmd->chanlist` is left unchanged and in fact will be a pointer to user memory. This causes `do_cmd_ioctl()` to `goto cleanup` and call `do_become_nonbusy()` which would attempt to free the memory pointed to by the user-space pointer. Fix it by setting `cmd->ch...
