[PATCH] iio: dummy: free software device on configfs release

[Guangshuo Li <lgs201920130244@gmail.com>]

iio_dummy_probe() allocates struct iio_sw_device with kzalloc_obj().
The error paths free it, but after successful registration the normal
removal path only frees the contained IIO device, leaving the software
device allocation behind.

The software device embeds a config_group. device_drop_group() calls
iio_sw_device_destroy() and then drops the config_item reference with
config_item_put(). Therefore, freeing the software device directly from
iio_dummy_remove() would free the embedded config_item before that
final put.

Configfs requires dynamically allocated config_items to provide a
release callback which frees the containing object when the reference
count reaches zero.

Add a release callback to iio_dummy_type and free the software device
there.

This issue was found by manual code inspection.
