[PATCH 7/8] idr: don't need to shink the free list when idr_remove()

From: Lai Jiangshan
Date: Fri Apr 18 2014 - 08:48:57 EST


After idr subsystem is changed to RCU-awared, the free layer will not go to
the free list. The free list will not be filled up when idr_remove().
So we don't need to shink it too.

"#ifndef TEST" can't work for user space test now, just remove it.
