Subject: [PATCH 07/11] ipc,msg: introduce lockless functions to obtain the ipc object

Add msq_obtain_object() and msq_obtain_object_check(), which will
allow us to get the ipc object without acquiring the lock. Just
as with semaphores, these functions are basically wrappers around
ipc_obtain_object*().
