IB/cm: Improve local id allocation

Browse Source 
The IB CM uses an idr for local id allocations, with a running counter
as start_id.  This fails to generate distinct ids if

1. An id is constantly created and destroyed
2. A chunk of ids just beyond the current next_id value is occupied

This in turn leads to an increased chance of connection request being
mis-detected as a duplicate, sometimes for several retries, until
next_id gets past the block of allocated ids. This has been observed
in practice.

As a fix, remember the last id allocated and start immediately above it.
This also fixes a problem with the old code, where next_id might
overflow and become negative.
