The error return of config->id dereferences the kfree'd object config.
Fix this by using a temporary variable for the id to avoid this issue.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Read from pointer aftyer free")
Fixes: a49d14276ac4 ("gpio: sim: allocate IDA numbers earlier")

V2: Don't make id local to the if statement to improve coding style.
    Thanks to Bartosz Golaszewski for this improvement suggestion.

No need, I'll add it and apply right away.
