Subject: iio: core: Fix entry not deleted when iio_register_sw_trigger_type()
fails

In iio_register_sw_trigger_type(), configfs_register_default_group() is possible to fail, but the entry add to iio_trigger_types_list is not deleted.

This leaves wild in iio_trigger_types_list, which can cause page fault when module is loading again. So fix this by list_del(&t->list) in error path.

BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: fffffbfff81d7400
Call Trace:
