Subject: [PATCH v4 1/2] misc: misc_minor_alloc to use ida for all dynamic/misc dynamic minors

misc_minor_alloc was allocating id using ida for minor only in case of
MISC_DYNAMIC_MINOR but misc_minor_free was always freeing ids
using ida_free causing a mismatch and following warn:
> > WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 159 at lib/idr.c:525 ida_free+0x3e0/0x41f
> > ida_free called for id=127 which is not allocated.
> > <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

> > [<605ac993>] misc_minor_free+0x3e/0xbc
> > [<605acb82>] misc_deregister+0x171/0x1b3

misc_minor_alloc is changed to allocate id from ida for all minors
falling in the range of dynamic/ misc dynamic minors

Fixes: ab760791c0cf ("char: misc: Increase the maximum number of dynamic misc devices to 1048448")

v2: Added Fixes:
    added missed case for static minor in misc_minor_alloc
v3: Removed kunit changes as that will be added as second patch in this two patch series
v4: Updated Signed-off-by: to match from:
