drivers/iio/industrialio-event.c: eliminate possible double free

Browse source 
The function __iio_add_event_config_attrs is only called once, by the
function iio_device_register_eventset.  If the call fails,
iio_device_register_eventset calls __iio_remove_event_config_attrs.  There
is thus no need for __iio_add_event_config_attrs to also call
__iio_remove_event_config_attrs on failure.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@r@
identifier f,free,a;
parameter list[n] ps;
type T;
expression e;
@@

f(ps,T a,...) {
  ... when any
      when != a = e
  if(...) { ... free(a); ... return ...; }
  ... when any
}

@@
identifier r.f,r.free;
expression x,a;
expression list[r.n] xs;
@@

* x = f(xs,a,...);
  if (...) { ... free(a); ... return ...; }
// </smpl>
