Subject: [PATCH v3] iio: core: fix double free in iio_device_unregister_sysfs()

I got the double free report:

BUG: KASAN: double-free or invalid-free in kfree+0xce/0x390
 kfree+0xce/0x390
 iio_device_unregister_sysfs+0x108/0x13b [industrialio]
 iio_dev_release+0x9e/0x10e [industrialio]
 device_release+0xa5/0x240
 kobject_put+0x1e5/0x540
 put_device+0x20/0x30
 devm_iio_device_release+0x21/0x30 [industrialio]

If __iio_device_register() fails, iio_dev_opaque->groups will be freed
in error path in iio_device_unregister_sysfs(), then iio_dev_release()
will call iio_device_unregister_sysfs() again, it causes double free.
Set iio_dev_opaque->groups to NULL when it's freed to fix this double free.
