From: Yang Yingliang <yangyingliang@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 65f20301607d07ee279b0804d11a05a62a6c1a1c upstream. If iio_trigger_register() returns error, it should call iio_trigger_free() to give up the reference that hold in iio_trigger_alloc(), so that it can call iio_trig_release() to free memory when the refcount hit to 0.
