Subject: [PATCH v2] pps: add an error check in parport_attach

In parport_attach, the return value of ida_alloc is unchecked, witch leads
to the use of an invalid index value.

To address this issue, index should be checked. When the index value is
abnormal, the device should be freed.

Found by code review, compile tested only.

Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org
Fixes: 55dbc5b5174d ("pps: remove usage of the deprecated ida_simple_xx() API")
