Subject: [PATCH] iio: core: check return value when calling dev_set_name()

I got a null-ptr-deref report when doing fault injection test:

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
RIP: 0010:strlen+0x0/0x20
Call Trace:

 max1027_probe+0x639/0x860 [max1027]
 spi_probe+0x183/0x210
 really_probe+0x285/0xc30

If dev_set_name() fails, the dev_name() is null, check the return
value of dev_set_name() to avoid the null-ptr-deref.
