Subject: [PATCH v2 6/4] ipc: open code and rename sem_lock

Rename sem_lock to sem_obtain_lock, so we can introduce a sem_lock
function later that only locks the sem_array and does nothing else.

Open code the locking from ipc_lock in sem_obtain_lock, so we can
introduce finer grained locking for the sem_array in the next patch.
