[PATCH v2] iio: core: fix double free in iio_device_unregister_sysfs()

I got the double free report:

BUG: KASAN: double-free or invalid-free in kfree+0xce/0x390

CPU: 0 PID: 359 Comm: xrun Tainted: G W 5.15.0-rc3-00109-g4dfd49fafc4d-dirty #474 523b7f3c65c42247635e2ac04a95f61f9f36678d

If __iio_device_register() fails, iio_dev_opaque->groups will be freed
in error path in iio_device_unregister_sysfs(), then iio_dev_release()
will call iio_device_unregister_sysfs() again, it causes double free.
Set iio_dev_opaque->groups to NULL when it's freed to fix this double free.
