staging: comedi: check for more errors for zero-length read



If the "read" file operation handler, `comedi_read()` is passed 0 for
the amount to read, some error conditions are currently skipped and the
function just returns 0.  Change it to check those error conditions and
return an error value if appropriate.  The trickiest case is the check
for when the previously set up asynchronous command has terminated with
an error.  In that case, `-EPIPE` is returned (as it is for a read of
non-zero length) and the subdevice gets marked as non-busy.

A zero-length read that returns 0 has no other effects, in particular,
it does not cause the subdevice to be marked as non-busy, and the return
value does not indicate an "end-of-file" condition.
