[PATCH] iio: addac: ad74413r: Fix trigger reference leak in ad74413r_probe()

[Wentao Liang]

The reference taken with iio_trigger_get() is only dropped by
iio_dev_release() when INDIO_BUFFER_TRIGGERED is set. Every failure
between trigger registration and the triggered buffer setup returns
before that mode is set and leaks the reference acquired for
indio_dev->trig. Move the iio_trigger_get() after the buffer setup
succeeds.
