[PATCH] iio: trigger: free the trigger ID after device_del()

[Changyul Lee <lcy8047@gmail.com>]

iio_trigger_unregister() returns the trigger ID to iio_trigger_ida
before device_del() removes the "trigger<N>" device. A trigger
registered in between can get the same ID, and its device_add() fails:

  sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/bus/iio/devices/trigger0'

For example, adding a sysfs trigger while an hrtimer trigger is being
removed through configfs, or the other way around, hits this because the
two paths do not share a lock.

Free the ID after device_del(), as the error path of
iio_trigger_register() already does, and drop the "Possible issue in
here" comment.

Found with a static analysis tool we are developing.

Reproduced in QEMU (x86_64) with two threads running for 20 seconds.
One writes to add_trigger and remove_trigger of iio_sysfs_trigger, the
other creates and removes an hrtimer trigger in configfs. Without this
patch, device_add() failed with the error above 160 to 1148 times per
run in three runs. With it, it never failed.
