This change resolves a new compile-time warning
when built as a loadable module:

WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_LICENSE() in drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/ni_atmio.o
see include/linux/module.h for more information

This adds the license as "GPL", which matches the header of the file.

MODULE_DESCRIPTION is also added.

Thanks! I wonder how I managed to miss out this driver in commit 3c323c01b6bd ("Staging: comedi: Add MODULE_LICENSE and similar to NI modules")?

Despite my above comment, we should probably give precedence to Matthew Giassa's patch for the same issue, since it was sent earlier.
