[PATCH] iio: buffer: use sysfs_attr_init() on allocated attrs

[PATCH] iio: buffer: use sysfs_attr_init() on allocated attrs

[Alexandru Ardelean]

When dynamically allocating sysfs attributes, it's a good idea to call
sysfs_attr_init() on them to initialize lock_class_keys.
This change does that.

The lock_class_keys are set when the CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC symbol is
enabled. Which is [likely] one reason why I did not see this during
development.

I also am not able to see this even with CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC enabled,
so this may [likely] be reproduce-able on some system configurations.

@Marek: could you maybe test this on your setup?

I haven't been able to reproduce this on mine.

Thanks

I'm fairly sure this is the right fix, and 'should' resolve the issue Marek
saw so I'm going to queue it up.

Applied to the togreg branch of iio.git and pushed out as testing for
the autobuilders to poke at it and see if we missed anything.

Thanks,

Jonathan
