iio: inkern: fix a NULL dereference on error

commit d81dac3c1c5295c61b15293074ac2bd3254e1875 upstream.

In twl4030_bci_probe() there are some failure paths where we call
iio_channel_release() with a NULL pointer.  (Apparently, that driver can
opperate without a valid channel pointer).  Let's fix it by adding a
NULL check in iio_channel_release().
