Subject: [PATCH 2/4] idr: reduce the number of MAX_IDR_FREE

Whe need to prepare MAX_IDR_FREE idr_layers for allocation.

But when idr is not empty, we need atmost (MAX_IDR_LEVEL - 1) idr_layers
to build up and atmost (MAX_IDR_LEVEL - 1) idr_layers to allocate down.
When idr is empty need atmost MAX_IDR_LEVEL layers.

So max((MAX_IDR_LEVEL * 2 - 2), MAX_IDR_LEVEL) idr_layers is enough.
