3.2.69-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Martin Fuzzey <[email protected]> commit c1b03ab5e886760bdd38c9c7a27af149046ffe01 upstream. When an error occurred during event registration memory was freed twice resulting in kernel memory corruption and a crash in unrelated code. The problem was caused by iio_device_unregister_eventset() iio_device_unregister_sysfs() being called twice, once on the error path and then again via iio_dev_release(). Fix this by making these two functions idempotent so they may be called multiple times.
