tifm_remove_adapter() removes the adapter ID from tifm_adapter_idr
before device_del() removes the "tifm<N>" device. An adapter added in
between, for example by another TI FlashMedia controller being probed,
can get the same ID, and its device_add() fails:

  sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/class/tifm_adapter/tifm0'

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

Fixes: 6113ed73e61a ("tifm: move common adapter management tasks from tifm_7xx1 to tifm_core")

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 an
adapter in a loop, under its own platform device as the parent.
Without this patch, tifm_add_adapter() failed with -EEXIST 125066 to
126356 times per run in three runs. With it, it never failed in three
runs.
Not tested on TI FlashMedia hardware.
