[PATCH 1/8] iio: accel: bmc150: Fix dereferencing the wrong pointer in bmc150_get/set_second_device

The drvdata for iio-parent devices points to the struct iio_dev for
the iio-device. So by directly casting the return from i2c_get_clientdata()
to struct bmc150_accel_data * the code was ending up storing the second_dev
pointer in (and retrieving it from) some semi-random offset inside
struct iio_dev, rather then storing it in the second_dev member of the
bmc150_accel_data struct.

Fix the code to get the struct bmc150_accel_data * pointer to call
iio_priv() on the struct iio_dev * returned by i2c_get_clientdata(),
so that the correct pointer gets dereferenced.

This fixes the following oops on rmmod, caused by trying to
dereference the wrong return of bmc150_get_second_device():

While at it also remove the now no longer sensible checks for data
being NULL, iio_priv never returns NULL for an iio_dev with non 0
sized private-data.
