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.
