staging: comedi: have comedi_set_spriv() allocate the memory
As suggested by Ian Abbott, comedi_set_spriv() can only be used to set the subdevice->private pointer to something that can be kfree()'d. Rename the function to comedi_alloc_spriv() and have it kzalloc() the memory as well as set the private pointer. This saves a function call in the drivers and avoids the possibility of incorrectly calling comedi_set_spriv() for some pointer that is not meant to be kfree()'d.
