Subject: [ 50/69] ipc: drop ipcctl_pre_down

3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Davidlohr Bueso <davidlohr.bueso@...com>

commit 3b1c4ad37741e53804ffe0a30dd01e08b2ab6241 upstream.

Now that sem, msgque and shm, through *_down(), all use the lockless
variant of ipcctl_pre_down(), go ahead and delete it.
