There is no guarantee that the last reference to the iio device has already been dropped when iio_device_free is called. This means that we can up calling iio_dev_release after iio_device_free which will lead to a use after free. As the general rule the struct containing the device should always be freed in the release callback. This is what this patch does, it moves freeing the iio device struct as well as releasing the idr reference to the release callback. To ensure that the device is not freed before calling iio_device_free the device_unregister call in iio_device_unregister is broken apart. iio_device_unregister will now only call device_del to remove the device from the system and iio_device_free will call put_device to drop the reference we obtained in iio_devce_alloc. We also have to take care that calling iio_device_free without having called iio_device_register still works (i.e. this can happen if something failed during device initialization). For this to work properly two minor changes were necessary: channel_attr_list needs to be initialized in iio_device_alloc and we have to check whether the chrdev has been registered before releasing it in iio_device_release. This change also brings iio_device_unregister and iio_device_free more in sync with iio_device_register and iio_device_alloc which call device_add and device_initialize respectively.
