Subject: [PATCH 5.10 16/25] idr test suite: Create anchor before launching throbber

From: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) <willy@...radead.org>

[ Upstream commit 094ffbd1d8eaa27ed426feb8530cb1456348b018 ]

The throbber could race with creation of the anchor entry and cause the
IDR to have zero entries in it, which would cause the test to fail.
