staging:iio:ad5933: Fix NULL pointer deref when enabling buffer

In older versions of the IIO framework it was possible to pass a
completely different set of channels to iio_buffer_register() as the one
that is assigned to the IIO device. Commit 959d2952d124 ("staging:iio: make
iio_sw_buffer_preenable much more general.") introduced a restriction that
requires that the set of channels that is passed to iio_buffer_register() is
a subset of the channels assigned to the IIO device as the IIO core will use
the list of channels that is assigned to the device to lookup a channel by
scan index in iio_compute_scan_bytes(). If it can not find the channel the
function will crash. This patch fixes the issue by making sure that the same
set of channels is assigned to the IIO device and passed to
iio_buffer_register().

Fixes the follow NULL pointer derefernce kernel crash:
