iio: sca3000: Fix an error handling path in 'sca3000_probe()'

to my staging git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git in the staging-next branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

From: Christophe JAILLET christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr Date: Sun, 8 Apr 2018 21:44:01 +0200 Subject: iio: sca3000: Fix an error handling path in 'sca3000_probe()'

Use 'devm_iio_kfifo_allocate()' instead of 'iio_kfifo_allocate()' in order to simplify code and avoid a memory leak in an error path in 'sca3000_probe()'. A call to 'sca3000_unconfigure_ring()' was missing.

Sent via the next merge window as unimportant bug and there are other patches dependent on it.
