tools: iio: iio_generic_buffer: initialize channel array pointer

Uninitialized channel pointer causes segmentation fault when we
call free(channel) during cleanup() with no channels initialized.
This happens when you exit early for usage errors.  Initialize
the pointer to NULL when it is declared.
