Subject: [PATCH 5.15 166/917] iio: buffer: Fix memory leak in iio_buffer_register_legacy_sysfs_groups()

From: Yang Yingliang <yangyingliang@...wei.com>

commit 604faf9a2ecd1addcc0c10a47e5aaef3c4d4fd6b upstream.

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):
    80 f6 8c 03 80 88 ff ff 80 fb 8c 03 80 88 ff ff  ................
    00 f9 8c 03 80 88 ff ff 80 fc 8c 03 80 88 ff ff  ................
  backtrace:
    [<00000000076bfd43>] __kmalloc+0x1a3/0x2f0
    [<00000000c32e4886>] iio_buffers_alloc_sysfs_and_mask+0xc31/0x1290 [industrialio]
