iio: trigger: fix NULL pointer dereference in iio_trigger_write_curre…

…nt()

In case oldtrig == trig == NULL (which happens when we set none
trigger, when there is already none set) there is a NULL pointer
dereference during iio_trigger_put(trig). Below is kernel output when
this occurs:

To fix that problem call iio_trigger_put(trig) only when trig is not
NULL.
