pps: make idr lock a mutex and protect idr_pre_get

Now pps_idr_lock is never used in interrupt context so we can replace
spin_lock_irq/spin_unlock_irq with plain spin_lock/spin_unlock. But
there is also a potential race condition when someone can steal an id
which was allocated by idr_pre_get before it is used. So convert spin
lock to mutex and protect the whole id generation process.
