[PATCH v2] ACPI: scan: fix bus ID cleanup on device_add() failure

When device_add() fails after acpi_device_set_name() has allocated an
instance ID and linked a new acpi_device_bus_id into acpi_bus_id_list, the
rollback path only removes wakeup_list and detaches the ACPI handle data.

That leaves the bus-ID bookkeeping behind and keeps the allocated instance
number consumed.

Move the bus-ID cleanup and wakeup-list removal into a single helper.
Use it from both the normal device teardown path and the device_add()
rollback path. The wakeup list node is initialized before registration, so
it can be deleted without checking whether the device is wakeup-capable, as
in the original teardown path.

Found by manual review of reports from the
kernel70rc2-fail11-retry-20260801 run.

v2:
- Fold the bus-ID cleanup and wakeup-list removal into one helper to avoid
  duplicating the same sequence in acpi_device_del() and the device_add()
  rollback path.
- Drop the wakeup.flags.valid check before list_del(&device->wakeup_list).
