[PATCH 1/2] iio: core: use kfree_const in iio_free_chan_devattr_list() to free names

[Alexandru Ardelean]

When the buffer attributes were wrapped in iio_dev_attr types, I forgot to
duplicate the names, so that when iio_free_chan_devattr_list() gets called
on cleanup, these get free'd.
I stumbled over this while accidentally breaking a driver doing
iio_device_register(), and then the issue appeared.

The fix can be just
1. Just use kstrdup() during iio_buffer_wrap_attr()
2. Just use kfree_const() during iio_free_chan_devattr_list
3. Use both kstrdup_const() & kfree_const() (in the places mentioned above)

Using kfree_const() should be sufficient, as the attribute names will
either be allocated or be stored in rodata.
