Subject: [PATCH] iio: buffer: Fix memory leak in iio_buffer_register_legacy_sysfs_groups()

If the second iio_device_register_sysfs_group() fails,
'legacy_buffer_group.attrs' need be freed too or it will
cause memory leak:

unreferenced object 0xffff888003618280 (size 64):
  comm "xrun", pid 357, jiffies 4294907259 (age 22.296s)
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):
