[PATCH 12/12] ipc/util.c: Further ipc_idr_alloc cleanups.

[Manfred Spraul]

If idr_alloc within ipc_idr_alloc fails, then the return value (-ENOSPC)
is used to calculate new->id.
Technically, this is not a bug, because new->id is never accessed.

But: Clean it up anyways: On error, just return, do not set new->id.
And improve the documentation.
