Convert the driver to use the device-managed versions of
iio_device_register(), iio_triggered_buffer_setup(), and mutex_init().

Use devm_add_action_or_reset() to ensure that the VCC and VREF
regulators are disabled safely and in the correct order during
driver teardown or probe failure.

Because all resources (buffer, regulators, IRQs, IIO device, mutex)
are now fully managed by the devm core, the unwinding order is
guaranteed to be correct (reverse order of allocation). We can now
safely remove all manual error handling goto labels in ad799x_probe()
and delete the ad799x_remove() function entirely.

This eliminates boilerplate code and prevents potential resource leaks.
