Subject: [PATCH v2 2/4] ipc: introduce obtaining a lockless ipc object

Through ipc_lock() and therefore ipc_lock_check() we currently
return the locked ipc object. This is not necessary for all situations
an can, therefore, incur in unnecessary ipc lock contention.

Introduce, analogous, ipc_obtain_object() and ipc_obtain_object_check()
functions that only lookup and return the ipc object.

Both these functions must be called within the RCU read critical section.
