Thanks to Lars for finding this.
The free of the 'attached_buffers' array should be done as late as
possible. This change moves it to iio_buffers_put(), which looks like
the best place for it, since it takes place right before the IIO device
data is free'd.
The free of this array will be handled by calling iio_device_free().
The iio_buffers_put() function is renamed to iio_device_detach_buffers()
since the role of this function changes a bit.
It looks like this issue was ocurring on the error path of
iio_buffers_alloc_sysfs_and_mask() and in
iio_buffers_free_sysfs_and_mask()
Added a comment in the doc-header of iio_device_attach_buffer() to
mention how this will be free'd in case anyone is reading the code
and becoming confused about it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
