staging: comedi: remove unused 'channel flags' support
The `flags` and `flaglist` members of `struct comedi_subdevice` were defined to supply "all-channel" flags via the `COMEDI_SUBDINFO` ioctl, or "channel-specific" flags via the `COMEDI_CHANINFO` ioctls, respectively. However, no comedi driver has ever set them. It's not entirely clear how "all-channel" flags would differ from the "subdevice" flags passed by `COMEDI_SUBDINFO`. It is conceivable that "channel-specific" flags could be used to describe different analog reference values (or whatever) supported by different channels. Presumably these would use some sub-set of the `SDF_xxx` subdevice flag values, or possibly the `CR_xxx` flag values that get packed into a "chanspec" value (along with a channel number and range code). The original intentions are lost in the mists of time. For now, just remove the `flags` and `flaglist` members from `struct comedi_subdevice` and behave as though they have been left at their default values (0 or NULL) by the low-level comedi driver.
