Staging: iio: introduce missing kfree

Error handling code following a kmalloc or kzalloc should free the
allocated data.

The semantic match that finds the problem is as follows:

)

// <smpl>
@r exists@
local idexpression x;

expression E;
identifier f,f1,l;

 return \(0\|<+...x...+>\|ptr\);

print "* file: %s kmalloc %s return %s" % (p1[0].file,p1[0].line,p2[0].line)
