Adding a few printk's, I got:

[   31.231560] requested handle = ffe00000
[   31.232426] allocated handle = 0
...
[   31.246475] requested handle = ffd00000
[   31.247555] allocated handle = 1


So the bug is here where we can't allocate a specific handle:

                        err = idr_alloc_u32(&tp_c->handle_idr, ht, &handle,
                                            handle, GFP_KERNEL);
                        if (err) {
                                kfree(ht);
                                return err;
                        }
