staging: comedi: usbduxfast: usbduxfast_ai_cmdtest rounding error

commit 5618332e5b955b4bff06d0b88146b971c8dd7b32 upstream.

The userspace comedilib function 'get_cmd_generic_timed' fills
the cmd structure with an informed guess and then calls the
function 'usbduxfast_ai_cmdtest' in this driver repeatedly while
'usbduxfast_ai_cmdtest' is modifying the cmd struct until it
no longer changes. However, because of rounding errors this never
converged because 'steps = (cmd->convert_arg * 30) / 1000' and then
back to 'cmd->convert_arg = (steps * 1000) / 30' won't be the same
because of rounding errors. 'Steps' should only be converted back to
the 'convert_arg' if 'steps' has actually been modified. In addition
the case of steps being 0 wasn't checked which is also now done.
