Alex Elder 1ddbe94eda rbd: rework calculation of new rbd id's
In order to select a new unique identifier for an added rbd device,
the list of all existing ones is searched and a value one greater
than the highest id is used.

The list search can be avoided by using an atomic variable that
keeps track of the current highest id.  Using a get/put model for
id's we can limit the boundless growth of id numbers a bit by
arranging to reuse the current highest id once it gets released.
Add these calls to "put" the id when an rbd is getting removed.

Note that this changes the pattern of device id's used--new values
will never be below the highest one seen so far (even if there
exists an unused lower one).  I assert this is OK because the key
property of an rbd id is its uniqueness, not its magnitude.

Regardless, a follow-on patch will restore the old way of doing
things, I just think this commit just makes the incremental change
to atomics a little easier to understand.
