[ 07/33] staging: comedi: s626: dont dereference insn->data

3.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ian Abbott <abbotti@xxxxxxxxx>

commit b655c2c4782ed3e2e71d2608154e295a3e860311 upstream.

`s626_enc_insn_config()` is incorrectly dereferencing `insn->data` which
is a pointer to user memory. It should be dereferencing the separate
`data` parameter that points to a copy of the data in kernel memory.
