Subject: [PATCH] mlx5: Remove call to ida_pre_get

From: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@...rosoft.com>

The mlx5 driver calls ida_pre_get() in a loop for no readily apparent
reason.  The driver uses ida_simple_get() which will call ida_pre_get()
by itself and there's no need to use ida_pre_get() unless using
ida_get_new().
