Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] staging: comedi: cast function output to assigned variable type

Fix the following warning generated by sparse:

drivers/staging//comedi/comedi_fops.c:2956:23: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces)
drivers/staging//comedi/comedi_fops.c:2956:23:    expected unsigned int *chanlist
drivers/staging//comedi/comedi_fops.c:2956:23:    got void [noderef] <asn:1> *

compat_ptr() has a return type of "void __user *"
as defined in "include/linux/compat.h"

cmd->chanlist is of type "unsigned int *" as defined
in drivers/staging/comedi/comedi.h" in struct
comedi_cmd.
