Maybe this doesn't handle kmem_cache_create() failure.
Anyhow this is the alternative patch to fix what the patch 1/5 was
trying to fix.
Subject: idr: create idr_layer_cache at boot time
This patch checks kmem_cache_create() failure by SLAB_PANIC
by creating idr_layer_cache unconditionary at boot time rather than
creates when idr_init() is called first time by someone.
This change also enables to eliminate unnecessary check every time
idr_init() is called.
