There is no guarantee that the last reference to the iio device has already been
dropped when iio_device_free is called. This means that we can up calling
iio_dev_release after iio_device_free which will lead to a use after free. As
the general rule the struct containing the device should always be freed in the
release callback.
This is what this patch does, it moves freeing the iio device struct as well as
releasing the idr reference to the release callback. To ensure that the device
is not freed before calling iio_device_free the device_unregister call in
iio_device_unregister is broken apart. iio_device_unregister will now only call
device_del to remove the device from the system and iio_device_free will call
put_device to drop the reference we obtained in iio_devce_alloc.
We also have to take care that calling iio_device_free without having called
iio_device_register still works (i.e. this can happen if something failed during
device initialization). For this to work properly two minor changes were
necessary: channel_attr_list needs to be initialized in iio_device_alloc and we
have to check whether the chrdev has been registered before releasing it in
iio_device_release.
This change also brings iio_device_unregister and iio_device_free more in sync
with iio_device_register and iio_device_alloc which call device_add and
device_initialize respectively.

There is currently no user, but we might need it in future.
So better add it now, before we have to convert drivers afterwards.

Currently we use two different naming schemes in the IIO API, iio_verb_object
and iio_object_verb. E.g iio_device_register and iio_allocate_device. This
patches renames instances of the later to the former. The patch also renames allocate to
alloc as this seems to be the preferred form throughout the kernel.
In particular the following renames are performed by the patch:
iio_put_device -> iio_device_put
iio_allocate_device -> iio_device_alloc
iio_free_device -> iio_device_free
iio_get_trigger -> iio_trigger_get
iio_put_trigger -> iio_trigger_put
iio_allocate_trigger -> iio_trigger_alloc
iio_free_trigger -> iio_trigger_free
The conversion was done with the following coccinelle patch with manual fixes to
comments and documentation.

Take the core support + the kfifo buffer implentation out of
staging. Whilst we are far from done in improving this subsystem
it is now at a stage where the userspae interfaces (provided by
the core) can be considered stable.
Drivers will follow over a longer time scale.
