In iio_register_sw_trigger_type(), configfs_register_default_group() is possible to fail, but the entry add to iio_trigger_types_list is not deleted. This leaves wild in iio_trigger_types_list, which can cause page fault when module is loading again. So fix this by list_del(&t->list) in error path.
