 iio was allocated in atom_index_iio() called by atom_parse(), but it doesn't got released when the dirver is shutdown.
 Fix this kmemleak by free it in radeon_atombios_fini().

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
