Staging: comedi: convert while loops to timeouts in s626.c



This patch changes a handful of while loops to timeouts to prevent
infinite looping on hardware failure. A couple such loops are in a
function (s626_debi_transfer()) which is called from critical sections,
so comedi_timeout() is unusable for them, and an iterative timeout is
used instead. For the while loops in a context where comedi_timeout() is
allowed, a new callback function, s626_send_dac_eoc(), has been defined
to evaluate the conditions that the while loops are testing.  The new
callback employs a switch statement based on a simple new enum so that
it is usable for all of the different conditions tested in while loops
in s626_send_dac().  The proper comedi_timeout() calls are then used.
