[PATCH v3 5/5] iio: as73211: copy/release available integration times to fix race

[Matteo Martelli]

While available integration times are being printed to sysfs by iio core
(iio_read_channel_info_avail), the sampling frequency might be changed.
This could cause the buffer shared with iio core to be corrupted. To
prevent it, make a copy of the integration times buffer and free it in
the read_avail_release_resource callback.
