Subject: [RFC PATCH v8 0/5] IPC: checkpoint/restore in userspace enhancements

v8:
This respin of the patch set was significantly reworked. Most part of new API
was replaced by sysctls (by one per messages, semaphores and shared memory),
allowing to preset desired id for next new IPC object.

This patch set is aimed to provide additional functionality for all IPC
objects, which is required for migration of these objects by user-space
checkpoint/restore utils (CRIU).

The main problem here was impossibility to set up object id. This patch set
solves the problem by adding new sysctls for preset of desired id for new IPC
object.

Another problem was to peek messages from queues without deleting them.
This was achived by introducing of new MSG_COPY flag for sys_msgrcv(). If
MSG_COPY flag is set, then msgtyp is interpreted as message number.

The following series implements...
