Subject: [PATCH] staging: iio: ad9832: allocate data before using

The regulator changes assigned data to an uninitialized pointer:

drivers/staging/iio/frequency/ad9832.c: In function 'ad9832_probe':
drivers/staging/iio/frequency/ad9832.c:214:11: error: 'st' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

This moves the allocation of the 'st' structure before its first
use, as it should have been.

Fixes: 43a07e48af44 ("staging: iio: ad9832: clean-up regulator 'reg'")
Fixes: a98461d79ba5 ("staging: iio: ad9832: add DVDD regulator")
