[RFC 01/10] lib/idr.c: reused free bitmaps are already clear

[Rasmus Villemoes]

If we're recycling a previously used struct ida_bitmap, it ended up in
->free_bitmap precisely because it was all zeroes. Thus, by using
kzalloc in ida_pre_get we can avoid doing the memset while holding
whatever locks protects the ida (which, judging by the number of
callers of ida_simple_get vs ida_get_new_above, is usually always the
global simple_ida_lock).
