[PATCH] iio: buffer: Fix memory leak in iio_buffer_register_legacy_sysfs_groups()

From: Yang Yingliang
Date: Wed Oct 13 2021 - 10:35:25 EST


If the second iio_device_register_sysfs_group() fails,
'legacy_buffer_group.attrs' need be freed too or it will
cause memory leak:

unreferenced object 0xffff888003618280 (size 64):
comm "xrun", pid 357, jiffies 4294907259 (age 22.296s)
