[PATCH v5 15/16] scsi: utilize new cdev_device_add helper function

This driver did not set kobj.parent so it likely suffered from
a potential use after free race if the user unregistered the
device while it was in use.

This was not so straightforward a conversion but I think this patch
cleans up its probe's error path significantly.

This patch adds device_initialize, which is required for
cdev_device_add. Then it switches to put_device instead of kfree as
recommended by device_initialize's documentation. This removes a lot
from the error path which was already in __remove.
A couple things needed to be re-ordered to be entirely correct, though.
ida_remove is also moved out of __remove and into unregister to
simplify things and follow the pattern other devices are using.

This also drop an extra unnecessary get_device/put_device in the code.
