idxd_wq_add_cdev() allocates a minor number from cdev_ctx->minor_ida for
the new struct idxd_cdev. When dev_set_name() or cdev_device_add()
fails, the error path calls put_device(), and the release callback
idxd_cdev_dev_release() only frees idxd_cdev, so the minor number is
never returned to the ida. Leaked numbers accumulate across bind/unbind
cycles, up to MINORMASK, for as long as the module stays loaded.

Free the minor number before put_device() drops the last reference on
that path.

Found by code inspection; the error path was not exercised at runtime.
