Fix the following warning generated by sparse:

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.

This patch and the other one in your series clash with commit 9d5d041eebe3 ("staging: comedi: comedi_fops.c: added casts to get rid of sparse warnings") by B K Karthik.
