[PATCH 2/3] staging: comedi: ni_nio_common: don't write non-existing caldac's

ni_write_caldac() checks the boardinfo 'caldac' array to determine what
caldac is used for a given 'addr'. It then calculates the 'bitstring' and
number of 'bits' used to write a value to that caldac address.

After checking the caldac array, if the number of bits is 0 there is no
caldac associated with the address. If this happens we shouldn't try
writing to the non-existing caldac.
