idr_get_cursor() get can be used instead of idr.idr_next, so that we do not
expose the internals.

-1 will be incorrect when the pids wrap around. Should we go back to
setting up last_pid as it was done before? Or should we use idr_get_cursor
and determine if pid was rolled over and then perform necessary action?
