Most of the add_client_resource() callers are process context (user
process doing an ioctl()), and for them this is going to work fine.  But
one caller is tasklet context (firewire-ohci's asynchronous reception DMA
IRQ handler "bottom half").

The kerneldoc comment in 05/62 "idr: implement idr_preload[_end]() and
idr_alloc()" tells me that idr_preload and idr_preload_end must be used in
process context only.  Can it work in tasklet context regardless?  I am
not entirely sure from looking at the implementation.

This hunk is OK, of course.
