idr: create idr_layer_cache at boot time

Avoid a possible kmem_cache_create() failure by creating idr_layer_cache
unconditionary at boot time rather than creating it on-demand when idr_init()
is called the first time.

This change also enables us to eliminate the check every time idr_init() is
called.
