idxd_free() calls put_device(idxd_confdev(idxd)) which drops the last
reference and synchronously invokes idxd_conf_device_release(). That
release callback already frees idxd->opcap_bmap, idxd->id (via
ida_free), and the idxd structure itself. The subsequent bitmap_free(),
ida_free(), and kfree() in idxd_free() therefore operate on freed
memory - a double-free that corrupts the slab allocator.
The same pattern exists in idxd_alloc() at the err_name label where
put_device() is followed by bitmap_free() fall-through.
Fix both by letting put_device() handle all resource cleanup via the
release callback, removing the duplicate frees.
Fixes: 90022b3a6981 ("dmaengine: idxd: fix memory leak in error handling path of idxd_pci_probe")
Fixes: 46a5cca76c76 ("dmaengine: idxd: fix memory leak in error handling path of idxd_alloc")
