ipc: reorganize initialization of kern_ipc_perm.seq
ipc_addid() initializes kern_ipc_perm.seq after having called idr_alloc() (within ipc_idr_alloc()). Thus a parallel semop() or msgrcv() that uses ipc_obtain_object_check() may see an uninitialized value. The patch moves the initialization of kern_ipc_perm.seq before the calls of idr_alloc(). Notes: 1) This patch has a user space visible side effect: If /proc/sys/kernel/*_next_id is used (i.e.: checkpoint/restore) and if semget()/msgget()/shmget() fails in the final step of adding the id to the rhash tree, then .._next_id is cleared. Before the patch, is remained unmodified. There is no change of the behavior after a successful ..get() call: It always clears .._next_id, there is no impact to non checkpoint/restore code as that code does not use .._next_id. 2) The patch correctly documents that after a call to ipc_idr_alloc(), the full tear-down sequence must be used. The callers of ipc_addid() do not fullfill that, i.e. more bugfixes are required. The patch is a squash of a patch from Dmitry and my own changes.
