Subject: [RFC 02/10] lib/idr.c: delete useless condition

Whether or not we have a spare ida_bitmap hanging off ida->free_bitmap
doesn't seem related to whether the embedded struct idr may have a
spare struct idr_layer in its free list. So the only thing this
condition does is increase the chance that we end up calling
get_from_free_list in vain.
