[BUGFIX PATCH] rtc: eliminate extra call of ida_simple_remove()

[Lothar Waßmann]

Unbinding an RTC chip driver from its device leads to the error
message:
|ida_remove called for id=0 which is not allocated.

This is caused by a redundant call to ida_simple_remove() in
rtc_device_unregister().
Eliminate the call in rtc_device_unregister() and only call the
function in rtc_device_release().

I've just discovered the same problem. Although I've removed the call to
ida_simple_remove() in rtc_device_release() (for symmetry of 
register/unregister) I can offer a

might make sense, but it should just remove a warning, so I don't know 
if that qualifies for the stable series.
