The reference count of the IIO device is increased if the IIO map has
 matched consumer name.
 After then, it tries to allocate the iio_channel which is used by the consumer.
 If it fails to allocate memory, the reference count should be decreased.

 This patch enables restoring the reference count of the IIO device.
