Step 5 of the (*do_cmdtest) validates that the chanlist, chan/range/aref/etc,
is compatible with the actual hardware. At this point in the (*do_cmdtest)
the chanlist is valid, due to checks in the core, so the sanity check is not
needed.

For aesthetics, factor the step 5 code into a helper function. Tidy up the
factored out code.

As for the remarks in patch 02, it's possible for chanlist to be NULL or for chanlist_len to be 0, so das800_ai_check_chanlist() should only be called if chanlist is non-NULL and chanlist_len is non-0.

But if chanlist is forced to be NULL by __comedi_get_user_chanlist() when chanlist_len is 0, it would be sufficient to check that chanlist is non-NULL before calling das800_ai_check_chanlist().

The original code is buggy as well because it accesses cmd->chanlist[0] without checking cmd->chanlist_len.
