ipc_addid() is protected by a rcu read lock, which means we can't allocate
using GFP_KERNEL inside it.

Another option would be to call idr_preload from outside the read lock,
but that complicates the code much more than this fix. If that's the
preferred method to fix it I can resend that solution instead.
