In iio_device_alloc() when size of the private data is 0,
the private pointer is calculated to behind the valid data.
NULLify it for good.

Fixes: 6d4ebd565d15 ("iio: core: wrap IIO device into an iio_dev_opaque object")

Do we actually need the else branch here since we use kzalloc() and
therefore indio_dev->priv should already be NULL?

This is more robust, but I'm okay to drop this. Up to Jonathan.

Given the allocation is just above here fine to drop the else in this
I think.
