This patch adds a helper function for retriving a iio_dev struct from a device
struct. Currently we open-code this in two different ways. One is using
dev_get_drvdata on the device and the other is using container_of. The new
helper function uses the container_of solution as it creates slightly smaller
code and also will eventually free up the drvdata pointer for usage by invidual
drivers.
