Some comedi drivers should return an error from their 'open' method when
something goes wrong. Change the prototype of the 'open' method in
'struct comedi_device' to allow this, and change the drivers that use it.
Propagate any error to the 'open' file operation.
The corresponding 'close' method won't be called when the 'open' method
fails, so drivers failing the 'open' need to clean up any mess they
created.
The dt9812 and serial2002 drivers can now return an error on 'open'.
The jr3_pci driver also uses the 'open' method but doesn't fail it.

Don't allow COMEDI_BUFINFO ioctl if some other file object has locked
the subdevice or has an active command. If there is no active command,
just report back the last buffer position.

When the COMEDI_BUFINFO ioctl is used on a subdevice without
asynchronous streaming command support, set 'bytes_read = 0' and
'bytes_written = 0' in the buffer info returned back to the user.

For write(), any data copied to the data buffer after the previously
set up streaming acquisition command has finished won't be used, but a
non-empty write() does not currently return 0 (or -EPIPE on error) after
the command has finished until the data buffer has been filled up.
Change this behavior to return 0 (or -EPIPE) any time after the command
has finished, without bothering to fill up the buffer with more useless
data.

Hm, what a mess. I tried to properly mark up the __user pointers,
but for some of these structures, we use them both in the kernel,
and across the user/kernel boundry, which isn't ok. So we end
up generating a few new sparse warnings in places we were not before,
but the large majority of things are now properly tagged in the fops
file.
The whole ioctl interface needs to be carefully looked at in the future.

The networking code checks CAP_SYS_MODULE before using request_module() to
try to load a kernel module. While this seems reasonable it's actually
weakening system security since we have to allow CAP_SYS_MODULE for things
like /sbin/ip and bluetoothd which need to be able to trigger module loads.
CAP_SYS_MODULE actually grants those binaries the ability to directly load
any code into the kernel. We should instead be protecting modprobe and the
modules on disk, rather than granting random programs the ability to load code
directly into the kernel. Instead we are going to gate those networking checks
on CAP_NET_ADMIN which still limits them to root but which does not grant
those processes the ability to load arbitrary code into the kernel.
