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.
