iio: Fix crash when scan_bytes is computed with active_scan_mask == NULL
if device has available_scan_masks set and the buffer is enabled without
any scan_elements enabled, in a NULL pointer is dereferenced in iio_compute_scan_bytes()

problem is the rollback code in iio_update_buffers(), old_mask may be NULL (e.g. on first
call)
I'm not too confident about the fix; works for me...
