lib/idr.c: Fix bug introduced by RCU fix

Browse source 
The last patch to lib/idr.c caused a bug if idr_get_new_above() was
called on an empty idr.

Usually, nodes stay on the same layer.  New layers are added to the top
of the tree.

The exception is idr_get_new_above() on an empty tree: In this case, the
new root node is first added on layer 0, then moved upwards.  p->layer
was not updated.

As usual: You shall never rely on the source code comments, they will
only mislead you.
