idr: make idr_destroy() imply idr_remove_all()
idr is silly in quite a few ways, one of which is how it's supposed to
be destroyed - idr_destroy() doesn't release IDs and doesn't even whine
if the idr isn't empty. If the caller forgets idr_remove_all(), it
simply leaks memory.
Even ida gets this wrong and leaks memory on destruction. There is
absoltely no reason not to call idr_remove_all() from idr_destroy().
Nobody is abusing idr_destroy() for shrinking free layer buffer and
continues to use idr after idr_destroy(), so it's safe to do remove_all
from destroy.
In the whole kernel, there is only one place where idr_remove_all() is
legitimiately used without following idr_destroy() while there are quite
a few places where the caller forgets either idr_remove_all() or
idr_destroy() leaking memory.
This patch makes idr_destroy() call idr_destroy_all() and updates the
function description accordingly.
