[PATCH 5.15 147/171] iio: mma8452: Fix trigger reference couting

From: Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@metafoo.de>

commit cd0082235783f814241a1c9483fb89e405f4f892 upstream.

The mma8452 driver directly assigns a trigger to the struct iio_dev. The
IIO core when done using this trigger will call `iio_trigger_put()` to drop
the reference count by 1.

Without the matching `iio_trigger_get()` in the driver the reference count
can reach 0 too early, the trigger gets freed while still in use and a
use-after-free occurs.

Fix this by getting a reference to the trigger before assigning it to the
IIO device.

Fixes: ae6d9ce05691 ("iio: mma8452: Add support for interrupt driven triggers.")
