[PATCH] iio: light: veml6070: Fix resource leak in probe error path

[Felix Gu]

The original code registered the i2c dummy device cleanup via
devm_add_action_or_reset() after i2c_new_dummy_device(). If probe
failed between these two calls, the dummy device would leak.

Use devm_i2c_new_dummy_device() which registers cleanup atomically
with device creation, eliminating the error-path window.
