Would it be better to put this test in comedi_buf_alloc() and return a different
errno?
With the check in __comedi_buf_alloc(), comedi_buf_alloc() needlessly calls
__comedi_buf_free() and __comedi_buf_alloc() before returning an errno of
-ENOMEM. I think an errno of -ENOSYS, or even -EINVAL, would be more
appropriate.
