[PATCH] iio: core: Fix suspicious sizeof usage

[Orson Zhai]

Pointer size is variours in different system, say 32bit for 4 and 64bit
for 8. The 'sizeof(infomask)' may lead to wrong bit numbers.

That's certainly been there a while.  oops.

Anyhow, whilst clearly garbage, it doesn't actually have an effect
at the moment due to the relatively small number of bits that can be
set and the fact this is limited by 32 bit platforms anyway.

So applied to the togreg branch of iio.git and pushed out as
testing for the auto builders to play with it.

Thanks,

Jonathan
