[PATCH] scsi: iscsi: Remove the endpoint ID only once when device_register() fails

[Changyul Lee]

When device_register() fails, iscsi_create_endpoint() removes the
endpoint ID from iscsi_ep_idr, drops iscsi_ep_idr_mutex and then calls
put_device(). put_device() runs iscsi_endpoint_release(), which removes
the same ID again. If another endpoint gets that ID in between, its
entry is removed and iscsi_lookup_endpoint() no longer finds it. The
next endpoint then gets the same ID and fails to register:

[    6.689361] sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/virtual/iscsi_endpoint/ep-1'

Leave the removal to iscsi_endpoint_release().

Found with a static analysis tool we are developing. Sashiko AI review
also pointed it out as a pre-existing issue.

Reproduced in QEMU (x86_64) with CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE, which
delays iscsi_endpoint_release() by 1-4 seconds, and a test module. The
module makes device_register() fail with fail-nth (an allocation in
device_add()), creates a second endpoint and looks it up after the
delayed release. Without this patch, the second endpoint gets the same
ID 1 and is not found, and a third endpoint fails with the error above.
With it, the second endpoint gets ID 2 and is found, and the third gets
ID 1 after the release.
