PATCH v3 1/1 iio: light: hid-sensor-prox: Fix memory leak in probe()

From: Fabio Estevam <[email protected]>

'channels' is allocated via kmemdup and it is never freed.

Use 'indio_dev->channels' directly instead, so that we avoid such memory leak problem.

---
Build-tested only.

Changes since v2:
- Get rid of the channels and use indio_dev->channels instead.

Applied to the fixes-togreg branch of iio.git

Thanks,
