idr: Add idr_alloc_u32 helper 

All current users of idr_alloc_ext() actually want to allocate a u32
and idr_alloc_u32() fits their needs better.

Like idr_get_next(), it uses a 'nextid' argument which serves as both
a pointer to the start ID and the assigned ID (instead of a separate
minimum and pointer-to-assigned-ID argument).  It uses a 'max' argument
rather than 'end' because the semantics that idr_alloc has for 'end'
don't work well for unsigned types.

Since idr_alloc_u32() returns an errno instead of the allocated ID, mark
it as __must_check to help callers use it correctly.  Include copious
kernel-doc.  Chris Mi <chrism@mellanox.com> has promised to contribute
test-cases for idr_alloc_u32.

* idr_alloc_u32() - Allocate an ID.
* @idr: IDR handle.
* @ptr: Pointer to be associated with the new ID.
* @nextid: Pointer to an ID.

* @gfp: Memory allocation flags.
*
* Allocates an unused ID in the range specified by @nextid and @max.
* Note that @max is inclusive whereas the @end parameter to idr_alloc()
* is exclusive.

* The caller should provide their own locking to ensure that two
* concurrent modifications to the IDR are not possible. Read-only
* accesses to the IDR may be done under the RCU read lock or may
* exclude simultaneous writers.

* Return: 0 if an ID was allocated, -ENOMEM if memory allocation failed,
* or -ENOSPC if no free IDs could be found. If an error occurred,
* @nextid is unchanged.
