Messes up Matthew's "ipc: convert ipcs_idr to XArray"
(http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200326151418.27545-1-willy@infradead.org).

Here's how I resolved things.  Please check?

static struct kern_ipc_perm *sysvipc_find_ipc(struct ipc_ids *ids, loff_t pos,
					      loff_t *new_pos)
{
	unsigned long index = pos;
	struct kern_ipc_perm *ipc;

	rcu_read_lock();
	ipc = xa_find(&ids->ipcs, &index, ULONG_MAX, XA_PRESENT);
	if (ipc)
		ipc_lock_object(ipc);
	else
		rcu_read_unlock();
	*new_pos = pos + 1;
	return ipc;
}
