Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] ipc: sem: do not hold ipc lock more than necessary

Instead of holding the ipc lock for permissions and security
checks, among others, only acquire it when necessary.

Some numbers....

1) With Rik's semop-multi.c microbenchmark we can see the following
results:

Baseline (3.9-rc1):
cpus 4, threads: 256, semaphores: 128, test duration: 30 secs
total operations: 151452270, ops/sec 5048409

+  59.40%            a.out  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] _raw_spin_lock
+   6.14%            a.out  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] sys_semtimedop
+   3.84%            a.out  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] avc_has_perm_flags
+   3.64%            a.out  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __audit_syscall_exit
+   2.06%            a.out  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] copy_user_enhanced_fast_string
+   1.86%            a.out  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] ipc_lock

With this patchset:
cpus 4, threads: 256, semaphores: 128, test duration: 30 secs
total operations: 273156400, ops/sec 9105213

+  18.54%            a.out  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] _raw_spin_lock
+  11.72%            a.out  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] sys_semtimedop
+   7.70%            a.out  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] ipc_has_perm.isra.21
+   6.58%            a.out  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] avc_has_perm_flags
+   6.54%            a.out  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __audit_syscall_exit
+   4.71%            a.out  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] ipc_obtain_object_check

2) While on an Oracle swingbench DSS (data mining) workload the
improvements are not as exciting as with Rik's benchmark, we can see
some positive numbers. For an 8 socket machine the following are the
percentages of %sys time incurred in the ipc lock:

Baseline (3.9-rc1):
100 swingbench users: 8,74%
400 swingbench users: 21,86%
800 swingbench users: 84,35%

With this patchset:
100 swingbench users: 8,11%
400 swingbench users: 19,93%
800 swingbench users: 77,69%
