iio: iio_push_event(): Don't crash if the event interface is not registered 

iio_push_event() operates on a struct iio_dev. This struct can be allocated
using iio_device_alloc() which returns a valid struct iio_dev pointer. But
iio_push_event() is not safe to use on such a iio_dev until
iio_device_register() for the same device has successfully completed.

This restriction is not documented anywhere and most drivers are written
with the assumption that this restriction does not exist. The basic pattern
that is followed by all drivers looks like the following:

	irqreturn_t event_callback(int irq, void *devid)
	{
		struct iio_dev *indio_dev = devid;
		...
		iio_push_event(indio_dev, ...);

		return IRQ_HANDLED;
	}

	int driver_probe(struct device *dev)
	{
		struct iio_dev *indio_dev;

		indio_dev = iio_device_alloc(...);

		request_irq(event_irq, event_callback, ..., indio_dev);

		return iio_device_register(indio_dev);
	}

And while it is unlikely that the IRQ fires before iio_device_register()
completes (e.g. because the IRQ is disabled in the device) it is not
impossible and might be triggered by glitches on the signal line or
incorrect hardware configuration.

To avoid undefined behaviour in such a case extend iio_push_event() to
check if the event has been registered and discard generated events if it
has not.
