memstick_remove_host() removes the host ID from memstick_host_idr
before device_del() removes the "memstick<N>" device. A host added in
between, for example by another card reader being probed, can get the
same ID, and its device_add() fails:

  sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/class/memstick_host/memstick0'

Remove the ID after device_del(), as the error path of
memstick_add_host() already does.

Found with a static analysis tool we are developing.

Reproduced in QEMU (x86_64) with a test module that runs two kthreads
for 20 seconds. Each kthread allocates, adds, removes and frees a host
in a loop, under its own platform device as the parent. Without this
patch, device_add() failed with the error above 3713 to 4442 times per
run in three runs. With it, it never failed in three runs.
Not tested on MemoryStick hardware.
