idr: implement idr_preload[_end]() and idr_alloc()

The current idr interface is very cumbersome.

* For all allocations, two function calls - idr_pre_get() and
  idr_get_new*() - should be made.

* idr_pre_get() doesn't guarantee that the following idr_get_new*()
  will not fail from memory shortage.  If idr_get_new*() returns
  -EAGAIN, the caller is expected to retry pre_get and allocation.

* idr_get_new*() can't enforce upper limit.  Upper limit can only be
  enforced by allocating and then freeing if above limit.

* idr_layer buffer is unnecessarily per-idr.  Each idr ends up keeping
  around MAX_IDR_FREE idr_layers.  The memory consumed per idr is
  under two pages but it makes it difficult to make idr_layer larger.

This patch implements the following new set of allocation functions.

* idr_preload[_end]() - Similar to radix preload but doesn't fail.
  The first idr_alloc() inside preload section can be treated as if it
  were called with @gfp_mask used for idr_preload().

* idr_alloc() - Allocate an ID w/ lower and upper limits.  Takes
  @gfp_flags and can be used w/o preloading.  When used inside
  preloaded section, the allocation mask of preloading can be assumed.

If idr_alloc() can be called from a context which allows sufficiently
relaxed @gfp_mask, it can be used by itself.  If, for example,
idr_alloc() is called inside spinlock protected region, preloading can
be used like the following.

	idr_preload(GFP_KERNEL);
	spin_lock(lock);

	id = idr_alloc(idr, ptr, start, end, GFP_NOWAIT);

	spin_unlock(lock);
	idr_preload_end();
	if (id < 0)
		error;

which is much simpler and less error-prone than idr_pre_get and
idr_get_new*() loop.

The new interface uses per-pcu idr_layer buffer and thus the number of
idr's in the system doesn't affect the amount of memory used for
preloading.

idr_layer_alloc() is introduced to handle idr_layer allocations for
both old and new ID allocation paths.  This is a bit hairy now but the
new interface is expected to replace the old and the internal
implementation eventually will become simpler.
