compositing broken in -next (idr bug)

[Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz>]

Hi,

this commit in -next causes my KDE to get stuck while starting. I see
only the splash screen. If I disable effects by alt-shift-f12, it continues.

I bisected it to this commit:

    drm: convert to idr_alloc()


More concretely to the change in drm_gem_flink_ioctl. If I revert solely
that one, it works again. Maybe I'm blind, but I do not see why...

Well I see a bug in there, but that is not the root cause -- there is a
missing call to idr_preload_end. Of course, that one only leaves
preemption disabled forever.

What I tried with no effect is this:
