For each kdbus domain, we maintain an ID-counter to guarantee unique IDs
across all objects. We also used to use it for message IDs. However, this
requires touching a shared cacheline on each message transaction, even
though we never guaranteed global ordering across buses, anyway.
Introduce a separate counter which is used solely for message IDs.
Semantics stay the same, but it no longer relates to IDs across buses.
