Subject: [PATCH] extcon: Fixed extcon duplicate issue

extcon_dev_ids may re-alloc to another while this device unregister not complete

The right timing shows below:
on extcon_dev_register: ida_alloc -> device_register
on extcon_dev_unregister: device_unregister -> ida_free

stack information when an error occurs:
sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/class/extcon/extcon1'
