Staging: comedi: don't write to buffer if command finished

For write(), any data copied to the data buffer after the previously
set up streaming acquisition command has finished won't be used, but a
non-empty write() does not currently return 0 (or -EPIPE on error) after
the command has finished until the data buffer has been filled up.
Change this behavior to return 0 (or -EPIPE) any time after the command
has finished, without bothering to fill up the buffer with more useless
data.
