The `COMEDI_BUFINFO` ioctl is used to advance the current position in the buffer by a specified amount (which can be 0) and get the new position. On input, the `bytes_read` member of `struct comedi_bufinfo` specifies the amount to advance the "read" position for an asynchronous command in the "read" direction, and the `bytes_written` member specifies the amount to advance the "write" position for a command in the "write" direction. The handler `do_bufinfo_ioctl()` may adjust these by the amount the position is actually advanced before copying them back to the user. Currently, it ignores the specified `bytes_read` value for a command in the "write" direction, and ignores the specified `bytes_written` for a command in the "read" direction, so the values copied back to the user are unchanged. Change it to force the ignored value to 0 before copying the values back to the user.
