[PATCH v2] tools/iio/iio_utils:fix memory leak

From: Yulong Zhang
Date: Sun Jan 15 2023 - 22:31:20 EST


1. fopen sysfs without fclose.
2. asprintf filename without free.
3. if asprintf return error,do not need to free the buffer.

Yes, you are right. Thanks you for the advice.
I found another problem, when asprintf return error, still free the
buffer.This is not correct,I've removed it.

Because in if statement still use filename,so I can't free filename
before it.And I am not sure it can be removed,so I free filename after if
statement.
