Paul E. McKenney 1b23336ad9 idr: make idr_remove_all() do removal -before- free_layer()
Fix a problem in the IDR system, where an idr_remove_all() hands a data
element to call_rcu() (via free_layer()) before making that data element
inaccessible to new readers.  This is very bad, and results in readers
still having a reference to this data element at the end of the grace
period.

Tests on large machines that concurrently map and unmap user-space memory
within the same multithreaded process result in crashes within about five
minutes.  Applying this patch increases the kernel's longevity to the
three-to-eight-hour range.

There appear to be other similar problems in idr_get_empty_slot() and
sub_remove(), but I fixed the easy one in idr_remove_all() first.  It is
therefore no surprise that failures still occur.
