iio: buffer: Make IIO DMA fence release RCU-safe

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: buffer: Make IIO DMA fence release RCU-safe The `dma_fence` documentation states that if a custom release implementation is provided, the `dma_fence` object must be freed in an RCU-safe way. The current `iio_dma_fence` implementation uses `kfree()`, which might result in a use-after-free. Remove the custom `release` implementation. This makes the DMA fence core fall back to `dma_fence_free()`, which calls `kfree_rcu()` on the fence. This requires that the fence be the first member of `struct iio_dma_fence`. Using the default release method for extended DMA fence structures is a common pattern.
