Subject: [PATCH 52/62] inotify: convert to idr_alloc()

Convert to the much saner new idr interface.

Note that the adhoc cyclic id allocation is buggy.  If wraparound
happens, the previous code with idr_get_new_above() may segfault and
the converted code will trigger WARN and return -EINVAL.  Even if it's
fixed to wrap to zero, the code will be prone to unnecessary -ENOSPC
failures after the first wraparound.  We probably need to implement
proper cyclic support in idr.

Only compile tested.

This patch depends on an earlier idr changes and I think it would be
best to route these together through -mm.  Please holler if there's
any objection.  Thanks.
