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.
