IIO trigger interface function iio_trigger_get() should be called after
iio_trigger_register() (or its devm analogue) strictly, because of
iio_trigger_get() acquires module refcnt based on the trigger->owner
pointer, which is initialized inside iio_trigger_register() to
THIS_MODULE.
If this call order is wrong, the next iio_trigger_put() (from sysfs
callback or "delete module" path) will dereference "default" module
refcnt, which is incorrect behaviour.
