Ian Abbott cb0dde4d05 comedi: ni_pcidio: Do not bother filling buffer with 0xaa byte values
On buffer change, the driver informs the mite module about the buffer
change and then it fills the buffer with byte value `0xaa` using
`memset()`.  Do not bother filling the buffer.  None of the other Comedi
drivers do this.

The aim is to get rid of the `prealloc_buf` member of `struct
comedi_async` (which is from a `vmap()` covering the whole buffer in
those Comedi drivers that do not use DMA), and use the per-buffer-page
addresses from the `virt_addr` member of `struct comedi_buf_page` to
access the buffer contents instead.

(If necessary, we could add a `comedi_buf_memset()` function to fill the
buffer with a byte value, but it's not worth it in this case.)
