IB/cm: Improve local id allocation
The IB CM uses an idr for local id allocations, with a running counter as start_id. This fails to generate distinct ids if 1. An id is constantly created and destroyed 2. A chunk of ids just beyond the current next_id value is occupied This in turn leads to an increased chance of connection request being mis-detected as a duplicate, sometimes for several retries, until next_id gets past the block of allocated ids. This has been observed in practice. As a fix, remember the last id allocated and start immediately above it. This also fixes a problem with the old code, where next_id might overflow and become negative. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
