Currently, the code in lib/idr.c uses a bare spin_lock(&idp->lock) to do
internal locking. This is a nasty trap for code that might call idr
functions from different contexts; for example, it seems perfectly
reasonable to call idr_get_new() from process context and idr_remove() from
interrupt context -- but with the current locking this would lead to a
potential deadlock.
The simplest fix for this is to just convert the idr locking to use
spin_lock_irqsave().
In particular, this fixes a very complicated locking issue detected by
lockdep, involving the ib_ipoib driver's priv->lock and dev->_xmit_lock,
which get involved with the ib_sa module's query_idr.lock.
