staging: iio: Fix incorrect existence check for a shared event pointer.
A second smatch detected error. First part fixes in a typo in the comment directly above that I noticed whilst trying to remember what this code actually does. Second part is the actual fix. I'm fairly amazed this one never caused trouble in testing as it is in one of the most common paths.
