Subject: iio: sw-device: Fix config group initialization

From: Lars-Peter Clausen <[email protected]>

commit c42f8218610aa09d7d3795e5810387673c1f84b6 upstream.

Use the IS_ENABLED() helper macro to ensure that the configfs group is initialized either when configfs is built-in or when configfs is built as a module. Otherwise software device creation will result in undefined behaviour when configfs is built as a module since the configfs group for the device not properly initialized.

Similar to commit b2f0c09664b7 ("iio: sw-trigger: Fix config group initialization").

Fixes 0f3a8c3f34f7 ("iio: Add support for creating IIO devices via configfs")
