Subject: [ 113/153] idr: make idr_get_next() good for rcu_read_lock()

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@...gle.com>

commit 9f7de8275b46d9d11b1505adbfe6c2bb48df4741 upstream.

Make one small adjustment to idr_get_next(): take the height from the top
layer (stable under RCU) instead of from the root (unprotected by RCU), as
idr_find() does: so that it can be used with RCU locking.  Copied comment
on RCU locking from idr_find().
