[PATCH] Document idr_get_new_above() semantics, update inotify

There is an off by one problem with idr_get_new_above.

The comment and function name suggest that it will return an id >
starting_id, but it actually returned an id >= starting_id, and kernel
callers other than inotify treated it as such.

The patch below fixes the comment, and fixes inotifys usage.  The
function name still doesn't match the behaviour, but it never did.
