idr: fix unexpected ID-removal when idr_remove(unallocated_id)
If unallocated_id = (ANY * idr_max(idp->layers) + existing_id) is passed to idr_remove(). The existing_id will be removed unexpectedly. The following test shows this unexpected id-removal: static void test4(void) { int id; DEFINE_IDR(test_idr); printk(KERN_INFO "Start test4\n"); id = idr_alloc(&test_idr, (void *)1, 42, 43, GFP_KERNEL); BUG_ON(id != 42); idr_remove(&test_idr, 42 + IDR_SIZE); TEST_BUG_ON(idr_find(&test_idr, 42) != (void *)1); idr_destroy(&test_idr); printk(KERN_INFO "End of test4\n"); } ida_remove() shares the similar problem. It happens only when the caller tries to free an unallocated ID which is the caller's fault. It is not a bug. But it is better to add the proper check and complain rather than removing an existing_id silently.
