When a comedi device is successfully attached, those subdevices that support asynchronous commands will have had buffers allocated successfully. It is possible to resize the buffers afterwards, but if the resize fails the subdevice is left with no buffer (`s->async->prealloc_buf == NULL`). Currently, this also causes any subsequent attempts to resize the buffer to fail with an error, which seems like a bad idea. Remove the check in `resize_async_buffer()` that causes the resize to fail if the subdevice currently has no buffer (presumably due to the failure of a previous resize attempt). Callers of `resize_async_buffer()` have already checked that the subdevice is allowed to have a buffer.
