staging: comedi: adl_pci6208: split the digital i/o subdevice

The PCI-6208/6216 cards have 4 digital inputs and 4 digital outputs.
These are currently being handled by an 8 channel COMEDI_SUBD_DIO
subdevice in this driver. This causes the 4 digital outputs to
appear as channels 0 thru 3 and the 4 digital inputs to appear as
channels 4 thru 7. Userspace can only work out part thisby doing the
COMEDI_INSNLIST ioctl with the INSN_CONFIG_DIO_QUERY instruction
for each channel to determine the io direction.

Make things a bit cleaner for userspace by creating two subdevices
instead. One for the 4 digital inputs and one for the 4 digital
outputs. For both subdevices the channel number indicates the
actual digital input/output signal.
