memory allocated by iio_triggered_buffer_setup() will not be freed, and cause
memory leak as follows:

unreferenced object 0xffff888009551400 (size 512):
comm “i2c-SMO8500-125”, pid 911, jiffies 4294911787 (age 83.852s)

00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20 e2 e5 c0 ff ff ff ff  ........ .......

backtrace:

[<0000000041ce75ee>] kmem_cache_alloc_trace+0x16d/0x360
[<000000000aeb17b0>] iio_kfifo_allocate+0x41/0x130 [kfifo_buf]
