firewire: cdev: use an idr rather than a linked list for resources
The current code uses a linked list and a counter for storing
resources and the corresponding handle numbers. By changing to an idr
we can be safe from counter wrap-around giving two resources the same
handle.
Furthermore, the deallocation ioctls now check whether the resource to
be freed is of the intended type.

Some rework by Stefan R:
- The idr API documentation says we get an ID within 0...0x7fffffff.
Hence we can rest assured that idr handles fit into cdev handles.
- Fix some races. Add a client->in_shutdown flag for this purpose.
- Add allocation retry to add_client_resource().
- It is possible to use idr_for_each() in fw_device_op_release().
- Fix ioctl_send_response() regression.
- Small style changes.
