If auxiliary_device_add() fails, idpf_plug_core_aux_dev() calls
auxiliary_device_uninit(adev), whose release callback
idpf_core_adev_release() frees the containing
struct iidc_rdma_core_auxiliary_dev.

The current error path then accesses adev->id and later frees iadev
again, which may lead to a use-after-free and double free.

Fix it by storing the allocated auxiliary device id in a local
variable and avoiding direct freeing of iadev after
auxiliary_device_uninit().
