In preparation for making the kmalloc family of allocators type aware,
we need to make sure that the returned type from the allocation matches
the type of the variable being assigned. (Before, the allocator would
always return "void *", which can be implicitly cast to any pointer type.)
The returned type is "struct comedi_lrange **", but the assigned type,
while technically matching, is const qualified. Since there is no general
way to remove const qualifiers, switch the returned type to match the
assign type. No change in allocation size results.

Move the main COMEDI driver headers out of "drivers/comedi/" into new
directory "include/linux/comedi/". These are "comedidev.h",
"comedilib.h", "comedi_pci.h", "comedi_pcmcia.h", and "comedi_usb.h".
Additionally, move the user-space API header "comedi.h" into
"include/uapi/linux/" and add "WITH Linux-syscall-note" to its
SPDX-License-Identifier.
Update the "COMEDI DRIVERS" section of the MAINTAINERS file to account
for these changes.

The comedi code came into the kernel back in 2008, but traces its
lifetime to much much earlier. It's been polished and buffed and
there's really nothing preventing it from being part of the "real"
portion of the kernel.
So move it to drivers/comedi/ as it belongs there.
Many thanks to the hundreds of developers who did the work to make this
happen.
