[PATCH] posix-timer: don't call idr_find() w/ negative ID

[Tejun Heo]

Recent idr updates make idr_find() trigger WARN_ON_ONCE() before
returning NULL when a negative ID is specified.  Apparently,
posix-timer::__lock_timer() was depending on idr_find() returning NULL
on negative ID, thus triggering the new WARN_ON_ONCE().  Make
__lock_timer() first check whether @timer_id is negative and return
NULL without invoking idr_find() if so.

Note that the previous code was theoretically broken.  idr_find()
masked off the sign bit before performing lookup and if the matching
IDs were in use, it would have returned pointer for the incorrect
entry.

Sasha, can you please test whether this makes the warning go away?

Thanks.
