[PATCH v5 1/2] iio: adc: ad_sigma_delta: fix CS held asserted and state leaks

From: Radu Sabau via B4 Relay

From: Radu Sabau <radu.sabau@xxxxxxxxxx>

In ad_sigma_delta_single_conversion(), set_mode(AD_SD_MODE_IDLE) and
disable_one() were called from the out: block while keep_cs_asserted
was still true. This caused any SPI transfer issued by those callbacks
to carry cs_change=1, leaving CS permanently asserted after the
conversion. Fix by moving both calls into the out_unlock: block, after
keep_cs_asserted is cleared, matching the pattern already used in
ad_sd_calibrate().

In the error path of ad_sd_buffer_postenable(), if an operation fails
after set_mode(AD_SD_MODE_CONTINUOUS) has already succeeded (e.g.
spi_offload_trigger_enable()), the device is left in continuous
conversion mode with CS physically asserted. Additionally,
bus_locked remaining true after spi_bus_unlock() causes subsequent
SPI operations to call spi_sync_locked() without the bus lock actually
held, allowing concurrent SPI access.

Fix the error path by clearing keep_cs_asserted first, then calling
set_mode(AD_SD_MODE_IDLE) to revert the device mode and deassert CS,
then clearing bus_locked before releasing the bus.

For devices that implement neither set_mode nor disable_one (such as
MAX11205, which has no physical CS pin), no SPI transfer is issued
during cleanup and the cs_change flag has no effect on any physical
line.
