iio: core: Fix double free.
commit c1b03ab5e886760bdd38c9c7a27af149046ffe01 upstream. When an error occurred during event registration memory was freed twice resulting in kernel memory corruption and a crash in unrelated code. The problem was caused by iio_device_unregister_eventset() iio_device_unregister_sysfs() being called twice, once on the error path and then again via iio_dev_release(). Fix this by making these two functions idempotent so they may be called multiple times. The problem was observed before applying 78b33216 iio:core: Handle error when mask type is not separate Signed-off-by: Martin Fuzzey <mfuzzey@parkeon.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Cameron <jic23@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Luis Henriques <luis.henriques@canonical.com>
