If successful ida_simple_get() calls are not undone when needed, some
additional memory may be allocated and wasted.
Here, an ID between 0 and MAX_INT is required. If this ID is >=100, it is
not taken into account and is wasted. It should be released.
Instead of calling ida_simple_remove(), take advantage of the 'max'
parameter to require the ID not to be too big. Should it be too big, it
is not allocated and don't need to be freed.
While at it, use ida_alloc_xxx()/ida_free() instead to
ida_simple_get()/ida_simple_remove().
The latter is deprecated and more verbose.

This patch is more a clean-up than a fix.
It is unlikely than >= 100 backlight devices will be registered, and the
over allocation would occur even much later when the underlying xarray is
full.
I also think that the 'if (bl->id >= 0)' before the ida_simple_remove()
calls are useless. We don't store the id if a negative (i.e. error) is
returned by ida_simple_get().
Finally, having a '#define BL_MAX_MINORS 99' could be better than a
magic number in the code.
