Subject: [PATCH 06/12] ipc: drop ipc_lock()

From: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@...olabs.net>

ipc/util.c contains multiple functions to get the ipc object
pointer given an id number.

There are two sets of function: One set verifies the sequence
counter part of the id number, other functions do not check
the sequence counter.

The standard for function names in ipc/util.c is
- ..._check() functions verify the sequence counter
- ..._idr() functions do not verify the sequence counter

ipc_lock() is an exception: It does not verify the sequence
counter value, but this is not obvious from the function name.

Furthermore, shm.c is the only user of this helper. Thus, we
can simply move the logic into shm_lock() and get rid of the
function altogether.
