patch "iio: core: fix ioctl handlers removal" added to staging-linus

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

iio: core: fix ioctl handlers removal

to my staging git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git
in the staging-linus branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: iio: core: fix ioctl handlers removal

Currently ioctl handlers are removed twice. For the first time during iio_device_unregister() then later on inside iio_device_unregister_eventset() and iio_buffers_free_sysfs_and_mask(). Double free leads to kernel panic.

Fix this by not touching ioctl handlers list directly but rather letting code responsible for registration call the matching cleanup routine itself.
