The "write" file operation handler, `comedi_write()` returns an error
for pretty much any condition that prevents a "write" going ahead. One
of the conditions that prevents a "write" going ahead is that no
asynchronous command has been set up, but that currently results in a
return value of 0 (unless COMEDI instructions are being processed or an
asynchronous command has been set up by a different file object).
Change it to return `-EINVAL` in this case.
