staging: comedi: comedi_bond: don't map channels individually
The private data structure (`struct comedi_bond_private`) for the overall "comedi_bond" device maps each channel individually to a pointer to the `struct bonded_device` it belongs to via array member `chan_id_dev_map[MAX_CHANS]`. This speeds up look-ups from channel number to bonded device a bit, but the length of the array used to look this up is currently fixed at `MAX_CHANS` (256) and there are no overflow checks when filling the array. In practice, there will only be a few bonded devices (actually bonded subdevices) and it is practical to just skip through the list until we reach the one containing the desired channel. The only place where the bonded device is looked up from the channel number is in `bonding_dio_insn_config()`. Change it to do the look-up by skipping through the list of bonded devices and remove the `chan_id_dev_map[]` member. The `chanid_offset` member of `struct bonded_device` is also no longer needed as the value can be derived while skipping through the list of bonded devices, so remove that member as well.
