How about just fixing the end parameter passed to idr_alloc()? AFAICS
that would take care of the context code.

Well, there are a few more issues with the code:
- not properly checking for negative return value from idr_alloc()
- leaking the ctx id on kmalloc() error
- pointless check for idr_alloc() returning 0 even though the min is 1

While you're poking around this dungeopn, maybe you can kill lock_count?
We never seem to decrement it, and it's only checked in drm_legacy_i_have_hw_lock().

These two changes look OK to me.
