[PATCH] staging: comedi: drivers: mite: Removed variables that is never used

[Rickard Strandqvist]

Variable ar assigned a value that is never used.
I have also removed all the code that thereby serves no purpose.

This was found using a static code analysis program called cppcheck

Reading the MITE_LKAR(channel) register won't have any side-effects, so 
that call to readl() can be removed altogether.  In previous versions of 
the driver, the value of lkar was only used in debugging messages.
