staging: comedi: usbduxfast: usbduxfast_ai_cmdtest rounding error
The userspace comedilib function 'get_cmd_generic_timed' fills the cmd structure with an informed guess and then calls the function 'usbduxfast_ai_cmdtest' in this driver repeatedly while 'usbduxfast_ai_cmdtest' is modifying the cmd struct until it no longer changes. However, because of rounding errors this never converged because 'steps = (cmd->convert_arg * 30) / 1000' and then back to 'cmd->convert_arg = (steps * 1000) / 30' won't be the same because of rounding errors. 'Steps' should only be converted back to the 'convert_arg' if 'steps' has actually been modified. In addition the case of steps being 0 wasn't checked which is also now done.
