[PATCH 4.19 79/91] staging: comedi: amplc_pci230: fix null pointer deref on interrupt

commit 7379e6baeddf580d01feca650ec1ad508b6ea8ee upstream.

The interrupt handler `pci230_interrupt()` causes a null pointer
dereference for a PCI260 card. There is no analog output subdevice for
a PCI260. The `dev->write_subdev` subdevice pointer and therefore the
`s_ao` subdevice pointer variable will be `NULL` for a PCI260. The
following call near the end of the interrupt handler results in the null
pointer dereference for a PCI260:

comedi_handle_events(dev, s_ao);

Fix it by only calling the above function if `s_ao` is valid.

Note that the other uses of `s_ao` in the calls
`pci230_handle_ao_nofifo(dev, s_ao);` and `pci230_handle_ao_fifo(dev,
s_ao);` will never be reached for a PCI260, so they are safe.
