Yang Yingliang 9a2ff8009e iio: buffer: Fix memory leak in __iio_buffer_alloc_sysfs_and_mask()
When iio_buffer_wrap_attr() returns NULL or buffer->buffer_group.name alloc
fails, the 'attr' which is allocated in __iio_buffer_alloc_sysfs_and_mask()
is not freed, and cause memory leak.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
