Subject: [PATCH v4 3/8] iio: core: NULLify private pointer when there is no private data

In iio_device_alloc() when size of the private data is 0,
the private pointer is calculated to behind the valid data.
NULLify it for good.

Fixes: 6d4ebd565d15 ("iio: core: wrap IIO device into an iio_dev_opaque object")
