Subject: [PATCH 09/20] ipc/sem: Avoid ipc_rcu_alloc()

From: Kees Cook <keescook@...omium.org>

Instead of using ipc_rcu_alloc() which only performs the refcount
bump, open code it to perform better sem-specific checks. This
also allows for sem_array structure layout to be randomized in the
future.

Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@...omium.org>

[manfred@...orfullife.com: Rediff, because the memset was
temporarily inside ipc_rcu_alloc()]
