Fix it by freeing the allocated kernel memory pointed to by `cmd.chanlist` before that pointer is overwritten with its original pointer to user memory before `cmd` is copied back to user-space. Secondly, if `__comedi_get_user_chanlist()` returns an error, `cmd->chanlist` is left unchanged and in fact will be a pointer to user memory. This causes `do_cmd_ioctl()` to `goto cleanup` and call `do_become_nonbusy()` which would attempt to free the memory pointed to by the user-space pointer. Fix it by setting `cmd->chanlist` to NULL at the start of `__comedi_get_user_chanlist()`.

It does fix the attempt to free the memory pointed to by the user-space pointer if the memdub_user() fails. But in do_cmd_ioctl() we still have an issue if the s->do_cmdtest() fails or the CMDF_BOGUS flag is set. There we restore the users cmd.chanlist pointer to allow copy_to_user() to return the cmd/ But the kernel allocated chanlist is not freed. The goto cleanup will again try to free the user-space pointer.
No, 'async->cmd' is copied (via struct assignment) to local variable 'cmd' and it is the local 'cmd.chanlist' pointer that is set to the original user-space pointer and the local 'cmd' that is copied back to user-space. 'async->cmd.chanlist' still points to the kernel copy of the chanlist that gets cleaned up by 'goto cleanup' / 'do_become_nonbusy().
