idr: fix overflow cases on 32-bit CPU
idr_get_next_ul() is problematic by design, it can't handle
the following overflow case well on 32-bit CPU:
u32 id = UINT_MAX;
idr_alloc_u32(&id);
while (idr_get_next_ul(&id) != NULL)
id++;
when 'id' overflows and becomes 0 after UINT_MAX, the loop
goes infinite.
Fix this by eliminating external users of idr_get_next_ul()
and migrating them to idr_for_each_entry_continue_ul(). And
add an additional parameter for these iteration macros to detect
overflow properly.
Please merge this through networking tree, as all the users
are in networking subsystem.
